Television

Television is the medium of mass communication par excellence. Its strength derives from making available to the public a form of escape and entertainment that has many of the show. Its primary function is, therefore, to entertain, and as is reflected in many of its programs.

On television dominates the image on the text, the written oral. Your messages using the logic of emotion rather than reason, always trying to capture and hold viewer attention. The convergence of sound and image makes the audience must be very aware of the visual component of the screen, developing a greater passivity and disregard the rest of things.

The popularity of television has meant that the language used in this way become a model for many people.
Television is a joint communication system, which combine verbal, visual and acoustic. Making television language features from other languages, especially the film, the newspaper and radio, adapting them to their own system of communication:

• Much of the resources and techniques of television language of film come: the frame, succession plans, sequences, mixtures ...
• The gender information-newsletters, reports, interviews-are constructed by taking the language of journalism as a model.
• The television language shares many elements with the radio language, from the very structure of programming to the concept of audience type or colloquial style, direct and conversational.
