[FONT=sans-serif, Arial]Hi everyone,
Iam currently working on my Master thesis. The topic of my thesis is:The linguistic creaitivity of LOLspeak and Textspeak.[/FONT]
[FONT=sans-serif, Arial]Mytopic area is the language of the Internet with a focus on thelinguistic issues of Textspeak and LOLspeak. In particular, I examinethe effects of character limitations on linguistic choices in eachgenre.[/FONT]
[FONT=sans-serif, Arial]Concerningthe empirical part of my thesis, I would like to create my owncorpora by collecting real examples of SMS messages. I am planning tocollect a sample of private text messages of native speakers ofEnglish, because native speakers of English are more likely to usenon-standard English, so we can predict that they are more sensitiveto the nuances of the language style characteristics of Textspeak.[/FONT]
[FONT=sans-serif, Arial]Ihave already designed a questionnaire in which I ask participants toshare their real SMS messages and additionally ask forsociolinguistic information, such as gender, age, nationality, thepurpose of the message, the intended recipient of the message, andthe participants’ frequency of texting.[/FONT]
[FONT=sans-serif, Arial]Iwould like to invite all native speakers of English to participate inmy project. I assure the anonymity of individual text messages andalso agree to thank those participants who wish to reveal their realnames, in the acknowledgements of my thesis.[/FONT]
