some time ago, NY Times newspaper prohibited its journalists from using the word "tweet" (Publication or update on the Twitter network) in his articles and publications. Except "bird sense", of course, since "tweet" in English means chirping. The media describes the term as a colloquialisms, neologisms and slang, which not part of standard English and linguistically proposed as more appropriate to use expressions such as "say on twitter" or "spreading through twitter." This decision has been discussed in other media and through social networks, where he received numerous critical accusing the midst of a purist. Given the flexibility of English, his ability to absorb new words and adapt its legislation quickly to changes in use, it is possible to "tweet" will soon be in standard English. It already is "google" as a verb . But whether or not accepted legislation, the use of a term derived from a specific network is symptomatic of a wider phenomenon.
The Congress Nonick Community Managers, Jennifer Preston , Social Media Editor of the media has remained a leader in communication since 1851, made a statement. "The main difference between then and now" influenced Preston, "is that readers are part of the conversation and why the NY Times wants all reporters are users of Social Media." Because social networks, he said, "are a powerful tool, when applied to communication helps to multiply the impact of publications and interaction with readers, but just that: tools. " But today, more than ever, the medium is the message largely .
With increased access to Internet and information technologies and communication in recent years, tools have changed to an increasingly rapid pace, acquiring a prominence that is soon replaced and leaves its mark on our language. Twitter can settle and finish settling permanently in our language, but could be replaced by other social networks in the coming years. Should trends in technology shape the speed at which change our language? (Eoi )
