Besonderheiten der Muendlichen Schriftlichkeit-Chatsprache [Articol]

Abstract

With the invention of the chat, which is a kind of communication over the Internet that offers a real-time transmission of text messages from sender to receiver, has been developed a new form of communication named the language of chat. The studies highlight the fact that in the Internet-based communication many features of the everyday spoken language (simplicity, dynamism, concreteness, imagery, etc.) are reproduced by means of written language. Thus, it shows certain characteristics of the everyday speech as the violation of the norms of language, but it has also contributed to the development of new phenomena such as emoticons, inflectives or leetspeak.
