English Abbreviations in German SMS Messages
Original language description
The article is devoted to language characters relevant to the area of SMS communication done via cell phones, primarily to the influence of English on German language and the use of English contractions and abbreviations. It gives a brief overview of phenomena that affect the current German language. The main focus is on the influence of English and English abbreviations, which are common for SMS and other forms of modern communication via mobile devices, and on the influence on the language of youths, the so called “Jugendsprache”. It mentions the role of SMS communication in the 90’s compared to nowadays and it does not forget to mention authors and scientific studies carried out in Germany in this field. Attention is given primarily to the lexical terms and signs of communication of this day and age, which focus on clarity, quickness and mainly briefness. The latter is often accomplished by abbreviations and acronyms. Since English abbreviations used in SMS are typical of the younger generation, part of the article is also devoted to the language of the youths. It touches on examples of words that found their way from English into German language and the author also considers the issue of the level of language skills of the young generation and the influence of English on their lexicon.
