*Texting and writing are not the same thing
*Speech is much more telegraphic
*People don't speak like they write and don't write like they speak
*Texting is loose in structure - no one fully punctuates or uses perfect grammar
*Texting is ''fingered speech''
*'lol' has developed into a pragmatic particle
*'slash' is used as a way to divert the conversation topi
*Texting is a new language developed by young people
OPINION OF SPEAKER:
*He states at the end of his speech that the development of slang and texting language is a 'linguistic miracle'
*He believes that the new language being formed is astounding and isn't getting enough credit as it is seen as 'mundane'
MY OPINION:
*I agree that text speak is an amazing concept and that it isn't appreciated enough. Abbreviations have been used throughout time and it's only now that they're being recognized as having a major impact on language.
*Texting is simply another form of communication as is speaking and writing.
