ESSAY

In this essay i am going to explore the relationship between our spoken language and the language we use when we text.

The relationship between spoken language and the language we use when we text is close because when we are texting our friends or any family member some people also believe that when speaking to friends and family that standard English is unnecessary  we tend to shorten the words and not use capital letters and not use punctuation so for example ‘STFU’  as it means ‘SHUT THE F**K UP’ and ‘LOL’ as it means ‘LAUGH OUT LOUD’. It is called an idiomatic phrase as it is informal English

People also use emojis to express how funny something or how sad it but we also take it about over the top when we are using emojis because we will use about 3 or 4 laughing faces for something that seems funny but it actually isnt funny in real life is they are also for facial expressions in spoken language.

we also use Omission in speech  when we don’t produce a sound in a word or a sentence when we  for example when we say  ‘ool’ instead of ‘pool.’ People often leave most of the words of when they are talking to people they are more comfortable with then when they are talking to somebody that they dont know and not comfortable with they will use the whole word the in sentence instead of most of the words.

many people also use paralinguistic features to communicate with friends and family because you communicate verbally and non verbally you can show gestures  for example a facial expression to indicate how you are feeling without speaking you can also show hand gestures to communicate with the person  also tone and pitch are also  examples of paralinguistic features
