My opinion on speaking, texting and/or web-based interaction.
My opinion is positive I think that it can open people’s minds up and make them use their imagination more by creating words and challenging words they don’t understand that are from slang. Slang can be helpful in many ways like all over London, for example there are many slang words that are the same all over but some are different. But if you use them with a certain person that knows slang they could think and look at you in a different way because you have made them feel more at home or commutable speaking to you in slang than in Standard English. And this is only some of the reasons I think slang is a good thing.
My first strong point is supporting my positive opinion on slang. It is about how it can show where you’re from witch links with your age and what type of background you have come from. There are so many different slang words e.g. SICK which means a lot of things in slang and here are some examples it means really cool and good in slang but in Standard English it means vomit or something not pleasant or nice. This is where it can show someone’s age by looking at the way they use words, for example if you said to an older person “that ride looks sick” they wouldn’t understand what you meant they would most likely think or say “what do you mean the ride is sick it can’t be unwell or sick”. This leads onto my next strong point about spoken slang and text slang.
My second strong point is about sarcasm in spoken slang and in text language. Sarcasm came from spoken language but has influenced text language in several different ways here are some examples: emoticons (which are smiley faces like thisJ ), slang (which is a range of created words or current words but they have changed the meaning of and is mainly used by younger generation’s). The creativity of spoken slang mixes well with sarcasm but not too well with text language, because it is harder to show you are being sarcastic because you can’t see what their body language is or what tone of voice they are using witch is the how you mainly show sarcasm.
My complete idea of spoken slang and text language is that slang stands out the most and I think it is because it is more creative also more adventurous, and that you can lean a lot about other things by understanding slang. The creativity of slang I think was a mix of text and spoken language, and that they have combined some of their aspects for example abbreviations they come from text not spoken but now spoken slang have picked up some abbreviations such as LOL (lough out loud) which is used in text slang but the other definition of LOL is (lots of love) but when spoken in slang there are trying to get across something is funny or they are joking.
I think in the future that slang will go a long way and I think that is how language has changed for example in 1940 they wouldn’t be saying words like LOL but there would be a aqueivllent of the abbreviation LOL. And I think that slang won’t be lost over time it’s just the words will change and the meaning will change but in the end it will still be slang.
To conclude I think that slang can open up people’s minds more make them think more and be more creative. And as proven in the transcript it can link to an everyday thing such as you are at school and you are just having a chat with your mates about coursework or what lesson you have or next. So my view on spoken slang and text language is that they mix very well together.
