LANGUAGE AND STYLE IN THE WRITTEN PRESS FROM ARAD, ROMANIA
LANGUAGE AND STYLE IN THE WRITTEN PRESS FROM ARAD, ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: An aphorism of the polish writer Stanislaw Jerzy Lec (1909-1966) tells us that all things have been said now and we still have to meditate on them. About language cultivation you couldn't say everything was said. The live language of the press, the stylistic expressiveness of the texts give us countless topics of analysis. 30 years after the revolution of 1989 the written press in Arad is in a continuous transformation of form and content. Touched by the market economy and lack of serious investment, newspapers have to restructure their staff and style. Right after 1989, the text was the first to sell the gazette. Today, the press kiosks are almost gone and in the newspaper page the image bite from a text that has become increasingly inconsistent. Established press genres, such as the report, the survey, the review, the chronicle of the book ( film or concert), even the interview as a stand-alone genre, no longer exist or appear sporadically. At this time, the city of Arad knows only two local newspapers in the classical printed formula, „Jurnal Arădean” and „Glasul Aradului”. The paper presents several media trands in written press from Arad. I am convinced that if we want to find an answer to the question of how Romanian language looks today, a glance at Romanian media offers countless analysis and reflections.
