Abstract

Though one aim of different sorts of TV shows (films, series, programs, etc.) can be to provide amusement and enjoyment, that is to entertain, specifically the comedy ones, TV shows generally do much more than this. Good TV shows make the audience change the way they look at life. They make people know the effect of different actions and words. The role of TV shows in the modern world cannot be underestimated. Even more, from a pure linguistic view, TV shows can serve as indirect lessons of language use. People can learn what uses of language are proper and what is not through films and series of these sorts
