The Influence of Texting Language on Grammar and Executive Functions in Primary School ... - 0 views

  •  
    When sending text messages on their mobile phone to friends, children often use a special type of register, which is called textese. This register allows the omission of words and the use of textisms: instances of non-standard written language such as 4ever (forever). Previous studies have shown that textese has a positive effect on children's literacy abilities. In addition, it is possible that children's grammar system is affected by textese as well, as grammar rules are often transgressed in this register.

Language & Culture in Society - 0 views

    From this source it shows a lot about language and its evolution. Although there are psycholinguistic characteristics that all humans share, language learning and teaching is always embedded in cultural and social structures. Languages die out, their uses in a speech community shift over time, and new languages emerge. An individual may lose or gain fluency in a language, or several languages, over their lifetime.

How Texting Changes Communication - 9 views

  •  
    Texting has, in many ways, made communication easier by helping people avoid long, unpleasant phone conversations and making a quick "Hello" much easier. Texting prevents us from fully developing from face-to-face communication, surface level communication, written communication, and really alters social boundaries.

How Words Can Change Your Brain and Life - 1 views

    Your mind is like a big city that has millions of roads. Once you set your start point at one of the roads your mind will take you down the road automatically. If you got exposed to certain positive words for few seconds you are very likely to think positively for the next few minutes. It's interesting when I read that if you use words such as strong, strength, power, while talking to other people, you will empower people to become stronger even if you were talking about the best way to cook food.
