Jezikovna politična korektnost in jezik novinarjev : magistrsko delo

Slovnik, Taja (author), Logar, Nataša (mentor)

Jezikovna politična korektnost pomeni izbiro jezikovnih izrazov, ki spodbujajo večjo vključenost v družbo in nediskriminiranje manjšin. V magistrskem delu smo proučili, v kolikšni meri, kako ter zakaj jezikovni politični korektnosti sledijo slovenski novinarji in novinarke, ko poročajo o dogodkih, ki vključujejo tri teme, in sicer spolno usmerjenost in spolno identiteto; raso in Rome ter starost. Uporabili smo dve raziskovalni metodi: analizo besedil in intervjuvanje. V analizo besedil z naštetimi temami smo zajeli šest medijev (24ur.com, Siol.net, MMC RTV Slovenija, Večer, N1 in Dnevnik), pozorni pa smo bili na poimenovanja pripadnikov in pripadnic družbenih manjšin ter njihovih lastnosti. Izpis je tako zajel 116 prispevkov in prinesel skupno 270 različnih poimenovanj. Nato smo izvedli še tri polstrukturirane intervjuje z avtoricami oziroma avtorji analiziranih besedil. Vnaprej pripravljen vprašalnik je imel 12 izhodišč, intervjuji pa so povprečno trajali 50 minut. Analiza besedil in intervjuji so pokazali, da novinarji in novinarke načelom jezikovne politične korektnosti pri svojem delu sledijo. Medijska besedila, ki vsebujejo žaljive in sovražne izraze za poimenovanje pripadnikov in pripadnic družbenih manjšin, po njihovem mnenju niso izdelek profesionalnega novinarstva. Menijo, da jezikovna politična korektnost dosega svoj namen, kadar je uporabljena premišljeno in v povezavi z dejanskimi izzivi, s katerimi se sooča družba.

• Title: Linguistic political correctness and the language of journalists

Abstract

Linguistic political correctness is the choice of linguistic expressions that promote greater inclusion in society and non-discrimination against minorities. In our master’s thesis, we examined the extent to which and how Slovenian journalists adhere to linguistic political correctness when reporting on events involving three topics: sexual orientation and gender identity; race and Roma; and age. We used two research methods: text analysis and interviews. For the text analysis, we covered six media outlets (24ur.com, Siol.net, MMC RTV Slovenia, Večer, N1 and Dnevnik) paying close attention to the terminology used for members of social minorities and their attributes. The analysis included 116 articles and yielded a total of 270 different terms and descriptions. We then conducted three semi-structured interviews with the authors of the texts analysed. The questionnaire was prepared in advance and had 12 starting points, and the interviews lasted on average 50 minutes. The text analysis and interviews showed that journalists generally follow the principles of linguistic political correctness in their work. Media texts that contain offensive and hostile terms for describing members of social minorities are not considered part of professional journalism. They believe that linguistic political correctness achieves its goal when used thoughtfully and in connection with the actual challenges faced by society.
