2. What is SMS language? The abbreviations and slang most commonly used in phone text messaging. also known as txtese, chatspeak, txt, txtspk, txtk, txto, texting language, txt lingo, SMSish, or txt talk)

3. WORDS IN FULL ABBREVIATIONS OR SMS LANGUAGE As far as I remember : AFAIR Love : LUV Thanks : THNX Today : 2day Before: B4 Have a nice day : HAND see you: C U SWYP : : So what’s your problem? At : @ Tears in my eyes : TIME Sealed with a kiss : SWAK Keep it simple, stupid : KISS Such a laugh : SAL At a moment : ATM Parents are watching: PAW Random act of kindness : RAK You’re on your own: YOYO As soon as possible: ASAP

4. Advantages of SMS Language Saves the text space and money. Saves the time. Easier to type. Avoid the off topics. Compresses the sentence. Private chat (code language). Smiley and emotions

5. Disadvantages of SMS Language Spoils spelling. High chances of developing grammatical errors. Communication misunderstanding. Paucity of clearance of the sentence.

6. Influences on languages and communication SMS communication is used mainly in the private social environment. offer an increased experience of psychosocial nearness between text author and text reader. The adept use of these personalised language short forms is an indicator of group affiliation and a component of group identity. The mass media label SMS communication as the secret code of the youth or as the big SMS action against long sentences a text message might reflect this would be to combine features of a written medium with features of a spoken medium, but this combination is usually not intentional

7. Influences on languages and communication Emoticons, such as :- ( , :- ) and ;- ) are a representation of body language, which would otherwise be missing from non face-to-face communication. in terms of its linguistic characteristics, stereotypical speech is interactive, and dependant on shared space, time, and background knowledge; stereotypical writing has the opposite characteristic. SMS language conventions resemble speech in many of its prominent characteristics

8. Conclusion all though a message can be sent out by one person it is up to the receiver to judge that message drawing on their own intellect and social/ cultural experience in order to decipher it. the total universe, past and present, is not subject to observation from any given observers position The limits are set by social convention: the variation within them allows for the social and psychological differences between the users As these mental variables are in-built into our psyche, our reactions to sign interpretations are not controlled.
