Abstract

This paper deals with a particular phenomenon which is strictly tied with modern communication technology; the usage in newsgroup messages of those particular abbreviations that one can usually read in mobile phone messages. The texting abbreviation means the orthographic substitution of entire standard words with a completely different set of graphemes according to phonetic patterns. In order to elaborate this work, a corpus-based enquiry has been made and a number of analysis which took into account the general topic of the message the abbreviation occurred in, were carried out.
