Language, Style, and Discursive Structure of Art Journalism: A Socio-Linguistic Analysis of Karakalpakstan Media

Abstract

This study examines the linguo-communicative transformation of art journalism in the regional media of Karakalpakstan. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach that combines content, discourse, and linguo-cultural analysis, the research identifies the structural and functional features of art-related media texts. The findings reveal that art journalism operates as a three-layered system integrating informational, analytical, and expressive components within a single discourse. These elements are not isolated but function simultaneously, forming a hybrid communicative structure. The study shows that media texts related to art go beyond factual reporting by incorporating interpretation and aesthetic expression. As a result, art journalism emerges as a complex system that combines information delivery with cultural and aesthetic meaning-making.
