Media linguistics is all about how we use language in media. Do you know what media is? It's things like TV shows, movies, magazines, and the internet. When people talk on these things, they use different words and ways of speaking than they do when they're talking to their friends or family.
Media linguistics is like a detective trying to figure out why people talk this way on TV and other media. They look at things like the words people use, how they say them, and even things like their body language and facial expressions.
By studying media linguistics, people can learn how media influences the way we talk, and how different groups of people are portrayed in movies, TV shows, and other media. It's like a superpower to be able to understand how media is shaping the way we communicate with each other, and to decide if we're okay with that or if we want to change it.
