Forums are one of the ways of information exchange in the Internet.
With the expansion of the Internet there were new simpler services, such
as social networks and blogs that reduced the importance and frequent
attendance of forums.
Nevertheless, the forum is not on the last place among other Internet
discourse genres and it is characterized by a certain thematic sign. The
scope of communication is defined by interests and bents of communication
participants. The communicative purposes of a forum can be various and
include the following aspects: to express yourself, to find the friend, to
support emotional contact, to communicate.
Depending on the purpose
of communication is defined the sphere of communication which is
characterized, first of all, by the role positioning of communicants (status
focused or personal focused). The author’s image is defined by a cumulative
great number of the participants of communication both who are present
now, and allegedly present at a retrospective and prospect. Usually the
forum should be considered as a type of communication with the mode of
asynchronous time possessing an oral and written text type. Soviet linguists
mark out the following stylistic features of a speech genre of forum:
subjectivity and estimation.
As well as each language society, participants of any genre of the
Internetdiscourse use different means of language. To consider lexical
features of the Internetdiscourse, we decided to take the blog as a basis, and
to consider lexical features of it. The substantial plan of the blog is like the
chronicle of author’s private life including elements of abstract reasonings
on the subjects interesting the blogger. A number of linguists speak about a
special kind of language of the blog. It is explained by a variety of reasons:
Firstly, the sphere of functioning of this language is accurately delimited
from other spheres of communication as it
is carried out by means of
technical electronic means.
Secondly, language means of blog’s language are characterized by a
certain set of unique lexical and grammatical characteristics which can be
easily allocated, formalized and form a uniform pragmatical complex.
The situation of establishment and maintenance of contact leads to
communicative innovation, by doing this communication original and
unique. Creativity of the language identity of blog’s
author constantly
grows in communicative space. And this growth goes on all language
levels that make Internet discourse language unique research object for
linguistic studying: in blogs we observe frequent use of “language game”
however often this innovation is expressed in a deviation from graphic and
grammatical language norms.

1) We can observe such type of abbreviation as acronyms (the
abbreviation formed of initial letters of words) in blogs:
AFAIK – (англ. as far as I know) насколько
я
знаю;
AFAIR – (англ. as far as I remember) насколько
я
помню;
AFK – (англ. Away from keyboard) отошёл (имеется ввиду, что
пользователь в
данный момент не у компьютера);
BTW – by the way (кстати).
2) Also the blogger very often uses reduction or truncation in the speech
that is one of the popular ways of the Internet discourse slang:
Apocopes (truncation of final part of the word of initial unit):
Comp –
computer;
App – application;
Sync – synchronize;
Admin – administrator.
3) Also bloggers use interjections, such as:
“Hazzah!”,
“Hee!”,
“Yaooo!”,
“Hmmm”, which are satellites of the emotional sphere of the blogger.
4) The emotional saturation in this environment is reached by the
following means:
(a) graphic verbal means (use of capital letters, repetition of punctuation
signs, smilies and other): HE IS A WIZARD; CLEAN AFTER YOURSELF;
WAUUU!; OHH!!!
(b) special program graphic means which
are inside of the software
cover, for example “emoticon” (when the graphic representation of “mug”
(often color) which expresses a certain emotion is added to any text message
or a remark).
5) Many bloggers possess good lexicon and dexterously know the literary
language. So they skillfully use phraseological units and Americanisms:
The fly in the ointment;
Road warriors;
Bummer;
Stack up;
Sidekick.
6) Use of epithets and comparisons makes the bloggers’ speech bright
and emotional:
Smooth, minimal, professionalism; this device downloads sites almost
as far as you can blink.

It is also possible to find many words expressing emotions in the text:
It’s a bit ironic.
7) Bloggers often resort to the use of informal colloquial lexicon that
makes statements clear for each reader of his blog, for example:
Cranky – strange;
To latch onto – to understand;
To crack up – to laugh a lot at something.
8) The author always finishes his speech with graphic means, such as,
)))))), Byebye).
To sum up, I would like to admit that Internetdiscourse continues
to
be formed nowadays, and it possesses the characteristic linguistic
and extralinguistic features defining its uniqueness. The lexicon of the
Internetdiscourse has some features of technical slang, but also it is filled
with common lexicon, it is formed by the principles of informal lexicon
formation. Among various forms of Internet – communication, I decided
to stop on that fact that the most popular one is blog (or Internet diary).
Thus, nowadays, the special communicative segment in the Internet
space is developed and is still forming now, which possesses the characteristic
linguistic and extralinguistic features defining its uniqueness continues. It
is obvious that the speech of Internetdiscourse occupies the special niche
in a language continuum therefore in further researches it is expedient to
carry out its system analysis, to define balance between oral and written
component, and also to plan prospects of further development.
Having carried out the analysis of blogs, I came to conclusion that
the blog is the website which contains the dated multimedia records with
possibility of leaving comments to them and viewing of any of them on
the separate web page. The analysis of blogs’
lexicon shows that users
often use various language means in their speech: interjections, reductions,
abbreviation, phraseological units, slang, informal lexicon, incomplete
offers, epithets, comparisons and others. Also authors of blogs use various
graphic means which make their speech more emotional and clear for all.
All these language means make bloggers’ speech brighter and interesting to
readers.
