- Abstract
Nowadays, language errors made in the media have very often become an important issue on our agenda. There are a wide range of sources in the literature showing the language errors especially made by journalists both in Turkish and in other languages. In the 19th century, on one hand, as a result of developments in social and technological fields, the importance of newspaper and journalism increased gradually, and on the other hand, various criticisms started to come up related with this issue. Arthur Schopenhauer was at centre of heavy criticisms towards journalists during this period. As a result of misuse of the German language, Schopenhauer blamed journalists for deterioration of the language and heavily criticized them. The purpose of this study is to determine how Schopenhauer evaluated the concepts of newspaper and journalism and to analyse the meanings he had attributed to these concepts based on his books titled Über die, seit einigen Jahren, methodisch betriebene Verhunzung der deutschen Sprache and Der handschriftliche Nachlafi and Parerga und Paralipenoma.
