From the Paper:
"The study of the impact of language and mass media is fairly new and most researches have been centered on advertising and news. This highlights the need to study other types of persuasive discourse such as film review writing. Although film reviews focus on a lighter subject, it has similarities with its more formal, more serious counterpart, newspaper editorials. One thing they have in common is that these two types of written texts use persuasive language to have an effect on people's behavior - be it changing a government policy or not to see a movie. With this, it can be theorized that language and the way it is structured plays an integral part in the process of persuasion in this written discourse."Sample of Sources Used:
