Hi y’all. I’m majoring in English and I’m trying to make a research paper. I really wanna add a report to my thesis. Please answer the following questions if you have some time. Also you don’t have to make the answes super large if you don’t want to. Just your participation would be much appreciated. Questions.
-
Age?
-
Profession?
-
Do you enjoy reading books? If yes, from which era? (New or old)
-
Do you think the language used in earlier pieces are different from the language used in contemporary books?
-
Do you think the change in language that is happening in the present time is happening faster than before due to the involvement of technology and social media? (Use of Slangs and informal internet language)
-
Contemporary books nowadays use short-forms, internet slangs, emojis, abbreviations or even insert images in the pages. According to you are these positive or negative changes? Thanks in advance lovely people.
62 - retired - all books except horror and chicklit - yes, Shakespeare wrote differently from Stoppard, but it’s not an issue, you can like both, one or the other or something else again - I don’t know if faster, how do you measure?, but it’s not an issue: language has always changed and some people have always moaned about thatt though it’s as unstoppable as the tide - actually this usage happens surprisingly rarely in contemporary books and as long as it’s appropriate to the book content why would it be an issue?
