Journal Title: Годишник на Педагогически факултет - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 14
Abstract
With the advent of the new media and the development of Web 2.0 tools, there was a mediatization of everyday life that is associated with the formation of the characteristic language in the new media services. This language represents hybridization of written and oral forms, and Crystal (2006) calls it Netspeak. Nowadays communication via Internet and the mobile phone has become an indispensable part of modern life, especially of young people. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the assessment of 8th grade students about the representation of certain elements of the language of new media in their writings written at school and for school purposes and in their texts written in their leisure time, i.e.: only uppercase letters, lowercase letters, mixed letters, exclamation marks and the use of symbols of laughter (smiles), syntagmas without a subject, syntagmas without auxiliary verbs, the use of Croatian aorist and imperfekt rather than perfekt tenses, the use of dialectal expressions, vulgarisms and blasphemes. As an instrument a questionnaire was used. It related to the use of elements of the language of new media in students’ school work as well as those in their leisure activities (Facebook, SMS messages / Viber, WhatsApp /). Students estimated the frequencies of their use for each item of the questionnaire on a 5-point Likert- type scale. Results of this study have shown that most 8th grade students never or very rarely use the elements of the language of new media in their school writings, while at the same time they use them very often or always only when they write in the new media in their leisure time. So writing in the new media differs from traditional texts because of language economy and technological possibilities on one hand, as well as limitations on the other.
