THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES EMAIL, SMS AND CHAT LANGUAGES.
  • There are some similarities between email, sms, and chat language. First of all, these three medium of communication are used to send message to other people who is far from the sender. The languages that used are being shorted to send a simple language and faster reading of the message. The sender will type the message in short forms to decrease the use of time. Furthermore, all of these three type of communications are using some unique items that make the message beautiful and meaningful to be viewed as examples, the used of smileys and emoticons. All these features can express feelings without writing more words. Beside that, email, sms and chat are sharing the same ways of salutation that we always use the same salutation like "hye" or "hello" in our real life.
  • Next, let us discuss some differences between email, sms and chat languages. The important thing that one should know is short messaging system (sms) needs a hand phone to be run while both chat and email are needing a computer. In this context, the header of these three items are different. SMS has the header that show the name of the sender only. Other important details about the sender like time and is shown after the message. There are no subject that has to be insert.In contrast, the email's header are placed on the top of the email where we can see the name of the sender, time and date and also the subject of the mail. While in chat languages, the header of the chat are the nick name of the chatter and the status which show whether the person is online or not. Plus we do not need to write the subject of the chat.
  • To send an email, one needs to have an email address as the sender and the receiver's address also. But, to send a sms, we need the receiver's phone number while to chat with our friend, we and friends must be online and have an id to be connected to each other.
  • The last one is that the chat languages are shorter than others. People do not use a sentence actually to chat, but just only a verb with some nouns or adjective or other grammatical things. They never use a complete sentence.
