Dictionary of Problem Words in English

Audience

Because audience is derived from a Latin word

meaning “to hear,”

some experts insist that the word

can properly apply only to

a group of persons engaged in listening.

Such purists feel that

where looking (seeing) is the primary activityinvolved,

persons comprising an audience should be called spectators.

Audience is now widely and acceptably

applied to listeners and viewers collectively

– to persons attending a theater or concert

as well as those reached by radio or television broadcasts,

by books, newspapers, and magazines, and by public speakers:

“The studio audience was convulsed with laughter.”

“Many works of art have a wide and devoted audience.”
