Abstract

The media play an important role in shaping peoples' knowledge, culture and attitudes, in many fields. For this reason, countries with military power and political control, and others have been keen to exploit this aspect in a way that serves their interests.
There are many studies that talked about the positive and negative effects of television, as well as its effects on the linguistic outcome of the child.
In another study by Layla Karam al-Din in 1989 - on counting the number of words and "phonetic vocabulary" words used by pre-school children and clarifying the relationship between children's conversations and formal language - I found that formal words constitute about a third of the different words used by pre-school children and their use increases For these words as the child's age increases.
In light of the above, the study problem is mainly crystallized in identifying the relationship between watching specialized Arab satellite channels for children and the Egyptian child's acquisition of language skills from (classical Arabic) in the elementary stage (ages 6 to 8 years), as well as the vocabulary of the Egyptian child from words Non-Egyptian (Arabic dialects).
