Summary and Comparison Skills

Both The Telegraph and The  Guardian wrote an article based on an incident that happened on a bus in Brighton Road, Coulsdon. I would say that they are so similar they might have worked with each other or one copied off another. The only differences that I would mention is the specific data in different places for example the offenders age and how The guardian put ‘sgt’ and the telegragh ‘seargent’. However they are basicly the same in terms in where they place their information    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/11983387/Shocking-moment-87-year-old-woman-punched-in-face-by-teenage-girl-on-bus-in-Croydon.html                                                  http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/nov/09/teenage-girl-punches-elderly-woman-on-croydon-bus

Essay

There are many similarities and differences between phone text communication and spoken language. There are also, some many ways in which they both influence each other. This essay will explore those similarities, differences, show how they how they have both influenced each other and how it has affected people overall.

One of the big ways phone text communication has affected spoken is if someone says ‘yo’ to someone it would mean that they have a close relationship however, not so close like family because you wouldn’t think you would say to a member of your family ‘yo’, unless they were like a very close cousin. This  first happened when people started getting used to phone text communication and tried to find ways to shorten words so that then it is easier to text. People got so used to using the word that they started using as part of their spoken language. This shows one of the biggest influences in spoken language.

Another point is that abbreviations have become a big thing in peoples lives, words like ‘LoL ( Laugh Out Loud), OMG (Oh My God)’ have been used in spoken language a lot now and mostly to over exaggerate. In the transcript Elmeri says ‘TF’ which most people wouldn’t know what it meant if they hadn’t known the person that was talking. I know the person so I would know that he’s saying ‘The F*#$’. Another example is when people text each other they would say ‘wuu2 (what U (you) up to)’ which most people wouldn’t expect to understand it however abbreviations like ‘TF and wuu2’ wouldn’t be used in spoken language. On the other hand, abbreviations like ‘LoL and OMG’ are used most of the time in spoken languages, so not all text communication is used in spoken language.

As you may see on my blog is a spoken transcript and a phone text transcript you may see some big differences for example there are no abbreviations in the spoken transcript because, people do not find it normal to say just single letters on its own to replace lots of words. Whereas in the text transcript you can see that people are more comfortable using abbreviations and swear words. There are words like ‘OMG’ that people are more comfortable using however it is  like the only abbreviation that people tend to use.

On the other hand, there are words like ‘chill’ or ‘dead’ that we use in spoken and phone text language but they haven’t come from neither of forms, they come from slang. However slang also, depends on where they are from so if someone from London tried to speak slang to someone from Manchester they wouldn’t understand the same would happen if someone from Manchester spoke slang to someone from London they wouldn’t understand either. As a consequence to that people are used to speaking in slang so they do it in phone text language.

Analysis

The effect that idioms have in spoken language is that in idioms only the people who speak the certain idiom from a certain area will understand it and anyone else from say Scotland wouldn’t understand it, so it makes it unique in its own way. In out transcript for example: it says ‘Fear of the walkin’ dead is deeeeaaaad’  when person one says deeeeeaaaad it means that it or the topic is boring so that makes it an idiom because only the people that speak English slang would understand.

The effect that omissions have is that it’s like a short cut or just laziness that most people have it’s kind of become an idiom so it just comes out as if it was standard English. It also is a conversation with a friend which people are comfortable and speak informal where as with a teacher, when tyrese was speaking to mister Waugh he started speaking standard English and went straight back to informal with his friends.
