Occasional Paper 2: Journalism & Language: Perceptions and Functions of the Russian- and Kyrgyz-speaking media in Kyrgyzstan. Gulnara Ibraeva, December 2002 (116 pages, in Russian only) In Kyrgyzstan, Russian and Kyrgyz language media are read for different purposes and by a different audience. Moreover journalists of either language refer to different journalistic traditions. A team of sociologists, linguists and journalists investigated into the role of stereotypes about Russian and Kyrgyz media, which are expressed by readers, students of journalism and journalists themselves. The reader will find an interesting discussion about the perceived differences which are bigger than the factual differences, as the author shows. This research also gives and overview over thehistoric development of Kyrgyz and Russian media and language in Kyrgyzstan. |
