The Third Language.
Journal Title: Kultura Popularna - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 33
Abstract
This article examines the language that we used to use in Internet communication. Traditional bilateral division into written and spoken language is inadequate nowadays. Internet speech, that I named ”third language” has its own specific character, based on both: written and spoken varieties of language. These influence on it’s ortography, expressions, syntax and even phonetics. For example it is necessary, like in written language, to use some tools: computer or smartphone, but the ‘digital’ language is also spontaneous and free of deep reflection, just like the spoken one. In my article I examine similarities and differences to both of these. But Internet communiation is not only a contamination of two traditional varieties. I also explored typical features of third language, like specific shortcuts or emoticons as a substitute of facial expression. Due to it’s expansion, connected with technological development, we need to get used to treat it as a language variety of standard value,”third language”.
