The language as a reference for oral translation of speech to the digital environment: a multimedia and interactive space

Abstract

The lexical vitality of the Spanish Language is a fact. An obvious symptom is the appearance of new words in the media, some by the significant change in existing words, sometimes taken from foreign records, but most formed from the very rules of the language. However, the emergence of new electronic environment, with the presence of speech merged in writing has achieved a new form of written language, free-flowing by the Network. Thus, the interaction through electronic text becomes a significant distance regarding the experiences of more traditional writing as a dynamic communication reenacts similar to the practices of the oral tradition of the conversation. We analyzed the lexicon of some of the messages written through the Websites of the television series "The Ship", which has accumulated high ratings. With its new interactive application called "TheTwittersodios", viewers can communicate with their characters through the social network Twitter. Through these texts can be seen how the language has shifted dramatically between users of New Technologies.
