Languages. The purpose of this study was to determine the language use in media
discourse in the Nḓevhetsini Programme on Phalaphala FM, to investigate linguistic
elements that create challenges amongst presenters, reporters, listeners and guest
speakers and also the manner in which the message is received by listeners. This study
employed a qualitative approach to obtain data from Nḓevhetsini episodes.
The episodes were divided into themes identified in order to compare common cases and
those that differ in language use amongst presenters, reporters, compilers, listeners and
guest speakers engaged on the Nḓevhetsini episodes.
The study found that borrowing, code-mixing, dialectal variants use, and not interpreting the
English message to listeners bring challenges in language use in media discourse.
Language programmes that promote language should be implemented. Rules that guide
language use are important in language preservation. / A hu athu tou vha na vhaḓivhi vha maṅwalwa vhe vha sedzulusa kushumisele kwa luambo
