Language and Dialect Contact
← A Contract | It's Mixing → |
This article highlights the evolution of the written language in mobile phones. Most mobile phone users prefer shortening their messages. This has led to emergence of a language that varies from the Standard English thus referred to as dialect. The use of the phrase “c u soon” instead of “see you soon” in messages is an example of a dialect. In an attempt to make the text message brief, the writer uses letters instead of pronunciations that correspond.Р’В
The text message is grammatically incorrect and not punctuated. In the second phrase “wat time u ova” in place of “what time will you be over” the same pattern is repeated. The author attributes this to mobile phone devices with no full key boards. He makes a satirical comment of the government anti -driving while texting sign, regarding it to be outdated. The use of corrupted English by the government in sign is an indication of how rampant this dialect is.
The author admits he still prefers well-formatted text messages despite the fact that most people send shortened messages that are grammatically incorrect. While scholars have attributed dialect to social class and regional isolation, this article brings to light the role played by modern telecommunication devices in linguistics and dialect contact. As the writer concludes, he displays uncertainty over the future of the dialect by asking a series of questions. The survival of this dialect, SMS language, will largely depend on the cellular phone users.
If they continue to use it then the language will grow and in time will have an effect on the established English language. The author views the emergence of this dialect negatively and applauds mobile phone devices equipped with full keyboards, social networks and e-mails as the way to combat it. Most scholars have associated this dialect to sluggishness and regarded it as a case where the mobile phone use prefers style over substance.

Thank you so much! I was assigned a paper that I found impossible to write. I did the reading. I did the research. However, regardless of my weak attempts, I could not formulate a cogent paper. I needed help, and EssaysEmpire.com’s writers were there for me. Customer service even arranged for me to speak with the person who was working on my paper personally. I had a lot of concerns, because my professor was very picky. However, EssaysEmpire.com was able to handle the order with no problem |

The paper that your writers did for me on the topic of, The Psychological Effects of Fluorescent Lighting in the Workplace,” was right on the money! They included my long list of customizations and did not charge extra for them. The formatting was just right. There were no grammatical errors. The length was what it was supposed to be. I am so happy that I chose to let the EssaysEmpire.com writers take care of my paper for me. I will choose this writing service again without hesitation. |

I was trying to choose between EssaysEmpire.com and another online writing service and I didn’t know which one to pick. Then, I began to read reviews. I didn’t read even one thing negative about EssaysEmpire.com, and the other site was fraught with complaints. I went with EssaysEmpire.com, and it turned out that all the good things I had read about the service were true. My paper was fully guaranteed, but it was A-1 quality. The customer service people were great. The prices were right. Now, I am a devoted fan. When I need help with my writing, I go straight to EssaysEmpire.com! |

The essay that your writers turned out for me far exceeded what I was expecting. It even came with a plagiarism report to prove that it was original. The customer service center was the picture of perfection, too. I loved everything about using EssaysEmpire.com and plan to use your services again. You are one class act! |
