Internet Linguistics a lesson by Prof. David Crystal
David Crystal affirms that nowadays text and language are becoming the most
travasaible things and EMC is provoking a new kind of language composed by
incorrect style and forms but, EMC and other things related to its are not
something new and EMC can be considered such a revolution which distincs
important aspect of speech, lexis, writing and sign. EMC is different than ordinary
speaking because it has not simultan feedback, and it's different in writing
because in its hypertestual links using, animated text, and framing. Used in each
laguage, EMC cannot be considered revolutinary a part of little modifies which has
brought; the only area where is verifing a big change is orthography, with some
EMC Domains it allows a slackening rules which rule punctuation, capitalization
and ortography; but EMC is so new that we couldn't know if it will provok big
changes in a language. EMC news is the newest domains of blog that are different
than classic public writing where in middle there's an editorial work. Till now, the
main EMC's effect has been that extend the range of varieties of a language
avalaible, so there's a more hetherogenity ways of expressing and talking, thanks
to EMC we have found out a major spectrum of linguistic clothes in our linguistic
closet actually for informal expression. An important target would be to teach new
generations how to manage all this options to satisfy society's linguistic needs
paying attention to the rythm of change.
