The Role Of The Media in Promoting The Arabic Language

Abstract

Language in this sense is the embodiment of the nation's spiritual and historical identity, as the keeper of its intellectual and cultural heritage. The historian Ernest Renan, who is known for his fanaticism towards the Arabs, believes that "this language, i.e. Arabic, has surpassed their sisters from the Eastern languages, with its abundance of vocabulary, accuracy of meanings and good order of buildings. Since its appearance, it has been in perfect analysis, to the point that it has not changed any significant change, so that it has not been known to her in the stages of her whole life, childhood or old age, and has remained conservative from all imperfection.

Media is the sincere expression of the mentality, spirit and tendencies of the masses in the formation and development of social awareness. . But the media is a double-edged sword; if it was at the required level of language and performance, it became a school for teaching language, but if the media deteriorates, the language is not spared from its harmful consequences.
