Atualmente as conversas virtuais são caracterizadas
por abreviações. Essas abreviações são normalmente usadas em e-mails,
chats, fóruns de discussão, mensagens instantâneas (MSN), e mensagem de
texto entre usuários de celulares.
Os papos e encontros virtuais não se limitam a um
país ou região, nesse contexto, é importante conhecer as novas formas
de interação social e lingüística não somente na língua portuguesa, mas
também em inglês.
Além da comunicação ser rápida e instantânea, os
usuários normalmente conversam com mais de uma pessoa ao mesmo tempo,
portanto, as abreviações derivam da necessidade de rapidez e
praticidade que este contexto lingüístico exige.
Na opinião do lingüista Marcos Bagno, os sinais
gráficos ou radicais abreviaturas comuns nos textos se inserem em um
cenário perfeitamente compreensível. As abreviações tentam ganhar tempo
na comunicação digital, uma aproximação do tempo da fala real.
Como língua mais falada no mundo, a língua inglesa
não deixa de fazer parte das adaptações lingüísticas do meio virtual.
Veja abaixo uma lista das abreviações, em inglês, mais utilizadas na
internet.
