"Londra, via libera al linguaggio degli sms"

"Il linguaggio degli sms

In questi ultimi anni si è venuta a creare una nuova forma di scrittura, caratterizza dall’abbreviazione forzata di molti termini, per fronteggiare il poco spazio a disposizione per i messaggi di testo sui cellulari. Una nuova forma di comunicazione veloce ed immediata."
http://atelierdiscrittura.splinder.com/post/19627724

"Il linguaggio degli sms e delle chat
Nuova lingua o involuzione?
Abbreviazioni, acronimi,
omissione di parti del
discorso, queste sono
le caratteristiche
del linguaggio ai tempi
della comunicazione globale,
dove lo spazio
va utilizzato in economia,
e l'unico tempo possibile
è il presente, rapido,
veloce, effimero."
