Language Convention Part Two




5th, Sunday, January, 2014


The language known as the SMS language, also known as (Short Message Service) which is where the abbreviation  comes from that being SMS. The way an SMS message is sent is through a mobile communication system, the language is a derivative of the formal language as seen in letters and formal email as such we spoke of in the previous blog post. 

This language is a very large and diverse language, also can be quite universal with some limitations. These being language barriers, but now the world having 30% of its population speak English which is just over 2 billion people. makes the language quite conventional as it is a very large wide spread. 

A SMS message is to convey a comprehensible message using few letters mostly this is an informal way of communicating to one another and this makes speech much quicker with the use of shortened word which are called "Initializations" which can be composed of acronyms and abbreviations of words such as the term "Laugh Out Loud" would be shortened to the abbreviation of LOL which may be misconstrued for other terms such as lots of love or even little old lady. Having these words tied together in a well constructed manner the context controls the situation of the message.
