Words of English Slant:Pegs to Hang Ideas on

The English media tradition refers mainly to the style of UK and US media, which can often be less formal than in other countries. Of course some of the media are more formal than others, but people from other traditions are sometimes surprised by the chatty, playful or humorous nature of some language even in serious newspapers. What is slant? What are possibilities of slant in Anglo-American tradition? What are slant types and aspects? It is open to debate whether it is a way for powerful media owners to influence readers' opinions, or whether readers want and expect slant, in order to reinforce views they already hold. But, there will always be editorial choices about what stories to include, how to approach each story, which should be lead stories, etc. Is there complete or neutral objectivity? What are results of strict objectivity? Media are often criticized for spinning a story. What is bias? What is bias towards ease and expediency? What is bias in favour of the exceptional over the ordinary? What is social bias? We shall try to answer the research questions through the analysis of the English media articles and socio-cultural case studies. The focus is on the language which is notorious for containing strange vocabulary, unusual grammar and large amounts of wordplay and cultural references. They make the language extremely challenging for non-native speakers to understand. An important aspect of slant is the use of different types of vocabulary to present certain information in either a positive or negative light. The use of vocabulary is apparent with emotive vocabulary. Emotive language is designed to create a strong emotional reaction in readers, such as disgust, shock or sympathy. Our contribution is to arouse interest in reading and listening to English media, so one can understand the connection with everyday surrounding, finding out that the words are just pegs to hang ideas on.
