| dc.description.abstract | The subject of the paper is the contents of some radio broadcast texts prepared for the youth at school age. The
addressee are young people who got some knowledge during school education and they can interpret the natural-
biological aspect of reality, but they still need to learn enough the cultural and social realities to manage
them rationally, self-dependently, and safely. Radio broadcasting nowadays is of great importance in creating the
view of the world and the value hierarchy as well as propagating definite ways of behaving.
The authors tried to answer several questions: what type of knowledge finds its explication in radio broadcasts
prepared for the youth, what does the knowledge concern, what level of rationality does it represent, what is its
scope and quality, who does it belong to and by what means is it communicate? Moreover the authors analyzed the
contents of some radio broadcasts considering variables arising from specificity of communicational situation
(i.e. pragmatic one), from cognitive experiences gained by listeners at school, and from functions that
broadcasts fulfil in general course of education and upbringing of the youth.
Additionally, the authors discuss forms and speech genres being used to impart knowledge. They also search for
relations between genre form of a broadcast and the type of contents and the specificity of radio as a medium. | en_EN |
