Linguistic characteristics of Dutch computer-mediated communication [Elektronski vir] : CMC and school writing comparedVerheijen, LiekeComputer-mediated communication has become essential in many youths' lives. Because language in CMC frequently deviates from standard language norms, it is feared to harm youngsters' traditional ... literacy skills. To determine if and, if so, how social media affect their writing skills, we first need to establish how CMC actually differs from the standard language. This paper presents findings of a study comparing CMC texts and school essays by youths from the Netherlands. Linguistic analyses were done with T-Scan, software specifically designed for Dutch texts. A range of lexical measures (lexical diversity, "special" words, lexical density, ellipses) and syntactic measures (dependency lengths, subordinate clauses, sentence length, D-level) were studied. Results reveal that in comparison to their school writings, Dutch youths' computer-mediated communication is syntactically less complex, contains more omissions, and is lexically more diverse, different, and dense. These youths thus employ different registers in the writing contexts of CMC and school.Source: Proceedings of the 4th Conference on CMC and Social Media Corpora for the Humanities, 27-28 September 2016, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia [Elektronski vir] (Str. 66-69)Type of material - conference contributionPublish date - 2016Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 62792034
