DE LA ABREVIERI LA CONVERSAŢIILE PE INTERNET

Summary/Abstract: The Internet has an important place in nowadays life. Rapid communication is essential. People use abbreviations in order not to forget or to loose the thread of conversation. This article refers to abbreviations used more frequently on forums. Abbreviation and the abbreviated words are analyzed from the linguistic and pragmatic point of view, through their effects on the conversation. In Romanian, such as in English or French, the means of abbreviation are complex: the apocope, the syncope, the sigle. Many abbreviations are made by the omission of vowels. Many times the letters and the signs have an appellative value. A great number of young users of the Internet have discovered a way of expressing themselves by this coded language in a familiar and confidential way, seeing the fact that the parents cannot understand these abbreviations. Obviously, for an occasional user, this is a problem, especially when he/she has a superficial knowledge of the language the message is written in.
