Abstract:
Danish news consumption has changed radically since the first Television News in 1965 and so has the language and the sociological systems. As part of our research project we will present our key results and will argue that the best way to describe the changes in language from reading aloud a handwritten Danish text to a more natural spoken language is to see it as part of the cultural and situational context.
