Fm language and its impact on society
Abstract
The purpose of this project is to identify the language and culture of Pakistan FM radio stations. The research was carried out through interviews from experts and questionnaires from the general public. The language used in FM channels affects people in various ways. Radio Jockeys should use the correct tone and vocabulary and promote our national language through FM channels. Its effect on the society is great as people learn language and are greatly influenced from FM language.
Introduction
Background:
FM or frequency modulation means the encoding of carrier waves, such as the sound wave or audio signals of a radio or TV stations, by the variation-modulating-of its frequency resulting in little or no static and high fidelity of original sound in reception. Since there has recently been a renewal of FM Radio in Pakistan; the immense need to study this valuable and effective contribution of FM radio channels has risen. It is important to study this field as the effect that FM transmissions have on their listeners is large. As Pakistan is a society which is vastly influenced by media and there is a huge amount of lower class people present in the society, radio transmissions play a significant role in the society.
Our research will mainly focus on the different types of variations and classifications present in FM transmissions, their impact on the listeners and their significance in our society. For all this, we will firstly focus on how, people perceive what radio jockeys say and from there we will explain how an individual’s different perceptions can also cause problems in understanding language used by them.
Statement of the Problem:
The proposed research aspires to explore the effects of linguistic variations on the listeners used in FM transmissions in Pakistan. To do this, the research carried out will include analysis of the FM transmissions and hence would use it to find the proper effect on the audience.
Purpose:

    Since the beginning of radio’s “golden age” in the 1940’s, this form of mass media has experienced many changes from different programming, to advertising, to broadcast laws, etc. Beginning when the first radio station, KDKA, signed on in 1920 , it was quickly being picked up as a new emerging form of mass media. By the mid-20’s radios themselves were better and easier to use, and by 1930, were being purchased by the millions. Radio not only survived but thrived through the great depression. This would only be the beginning of its journey of change. Radio, like many other mass media, has continued to evolve to meet the constantly changing wants and needs of society.…
