SYNTACTIC FEATURES OF THE LANGUAGE OF ROMANIAN AND SPANISH YOUNG PEOPLE IN SOCIAL MEDIA

Summary/Abstract: Syntactic Features of the Language of Romanian and Spanish Young People in Social Media. The technological evolution from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 has generated new ways of communicating over the Internet that allow the user to create varied content and therefore promote the use of a language which corresponds firstly to its subjectivity and only secondly to the rules of the language and principles of organizing the discourse of the standard language. The aim of this study is to comparatively analyse the syntactic features specific to this type of language, within the social group of young Spanish and young Romanians, using for this a corpus consisting of language samples collected from four of the most used social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Tinder. Therefore, some of the most relevant features identified are: the pragmatic order of the utterance’s units, the tendency to use the coordination and the creative connection of the utterances, the presence of unorganized constructions around a verb in personal form, the inseration of graphic elements and links into text and the use of exclamations and interrogations.
