• Languages of publication: FR

Abstracts

EN

This article is focused on new forms of written communication, mainly computer-mediated communication. The main aim of this article is a detailed analysis of specific forms of written communication which exist in French chats. Special attention is given to phoneticizing neography which intends to adapt the written form of the word to its oral form. This is done to depict the conversational aspect of the communicative environment. After a short theoretical presentation, the article shows the frequency of techniques that the phoneticizing neography uses to « oralize » the written forms of computer-mediated communication. A huge richness of the phoneticizing neography is illustrated by concrete examples taken from our corpus.
