Digital Generation, Digital Communication And The Digitalized (!) Turkish
Journal Title: AJIT-e: Bilişim Teknolojileri Online Dergisi - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
The generation X, Y, Z division of sociologists reinforces the opinion that this division is done in accordance with the interactivity of communication devices. This is because the digital generation referred to as generation Z has started to prefer the internet and smart phones as a means of communication. The influence of globalization has led English to become the principle language of communication devices used by the digital generation. As the passion for speed compels generation Z to be fast, impatient in other areas of the interactive life, its influences are also felt on the use of Turkish. Such that vowels are being omitted from words that are written, the simple words in the colloquial language are abbreviated, states of emotion are tried to be explained with expressions consisting of punctuation marks. Also, in addition to the half Turkish, half English sentences, transferring this to writing as in the colloquial language is also gradually spreading amongst generation Z, and in fact those forming proper sentences are becoming a minority. In this context, literature scanning method was carried out as a method in this study. The correspondences particularly in online forums and social networking sites have also been analyzed.
