The expression ‘ digital natives “is entering the common language. Something comparable to how google verb turned. Already generations who were born surrounded by all kinds of mechanical and technological function in a way different from the rest. Share emotions, see information as something that can be distributed to all your contacts, and use instant messaging to make friends, find romance or look for a job.
But, this generation is the weakest link in the chain link linguistic correctness and risk, if the education system does not correct it, of oversimplifying language and therefore thought. This conclusion they have reached the IX International Seminar on Language and Journalism , held last week and have released today its organizers, Urgent Spanish Foundation (Fundéu BBVA) and San Millán Cogolla Foundation . The meeting, the Princess of Asturias inaugurated with an appeal to the rigor at the heart of the practice of journalism, attended linguists, journalists and experts in social networks and computer processing of language, who discussed how the new digital media environment can be influencing Spanish today and how it will be in a future.
These findings highlight the great existence in the field of digital formats governed by immediacy, written so very away from the Linguistic rules , and the problem this poses to the appropriate dissemination of the texts with linguistic quality comparable to traditional media.
trend writing what is pronounced by removing letters or adding other (“aora horn ‘), suppression of double letters (” Exar “to” take “), removing punctuation marks (” you come from? “) or use as part of emoticons (“:-)”), are just a few features of this type of digital communication.
well as reducing words to their consonants (“dnd KDMS? ‘) expressive lengthening (‘Koha’), abbreviations and the use of symbols and numbers (“tkm” “+ o-” or “sl2″) or the expressive use of capitals as shouting.
For experts gathered in San Millán some of them “are threatening” linguistic norms that achieve both cost-only since 1927 can speak of a real Spanish orthographic unit. While these forms constitute a simple shift register, a form of expression that can be alternated with other more “formal” will not be serious, said the findings, which warn of the risk that digital natives only learn to manage these new codes, would lead to a simplification of language and, therefore, “a reduction of critical thinking.”
It is therefore essential, added that the education system to ensure that these new generations, ‘In addition to these new records, can operate with ease in more formal. “
In the various committees held during the seminar was also addressed how the new digital environment affects the role of journalist and his way of using language.
Combining traditional with new formats like the “minute by minute” and the discussion of the contrast between short and longer culminated content the conclusion that “the short genres have to give the counterpoint of a slower and thoughtful journalism” and warning that “it is not that long journalism not interested; not interested in bad journalism. “
The conclusions of the seminar are available on the web Fundéu BBVA , is also mentioned that social networks” are the perfect training ground in both journalism and other forms of narrative ” . Besides in journalism today, “unidirectionality is over” because it has created “a new communication experience” with a reader, more than that, and a ‘connected person’.
