MESSAGGI SUL WEB: una lingua nella lingua

# data[].attributes.body
La lingua dei messaggi (SMS, WHATSAPP, CHAT ... ...) è una lingua a parte, contraddistinta da caratteristiche e regole proprie. È quello che in linguistica viene definito idioletto. E’ caratterizzata da una estrema concisione e dal frequente utilizzo di elementi extra-verbali, come le emoticon, per sopperire alla mancanza della componente visiva non verbale (tono di voce, espressioni facciali eccetera). Adotta spesso una sintassi particolare, con la preferenza per le frasi paratattiche (a discapito delle subordinate) e non rispetta le normali regole di punteggiatura: quante volte, nello scrivere un messaggio, separiamo le frasi con 2/3 puntini di sospensione invece di utilizzare la virgola o il punto fermo?
messaggi una lingua nella lingua

Come si formano le abbreviazioni deI messaggi in inglese?

Eliminando alcune lettere della parola (solitamente le vocali) Es. fwd → forward

Sostituendo alcune sillabe o addirittura alcune parole con lettere o numeri che presentano la stessa pronuncia. Es. b4 → before; cu → see you

Utilizzando la figura dell'acronimo, cioè scrivendo solo le lettere iniziali delle frasi di uso comune.

Es. FYI → for your information;

IMHO → in my humble opinion
