Abstract

The introduction of the most recent mobiles, joined by the bundles of messaging from various mobile companies, is contributing in the expansion of text messaging. Instant message language is almost different from normal language and it is closed to spoken language rather than written form. Another important phenomenon seen in this setting is the utilization of abbreviations, reductions, omissions and shortening of words and sentences. We took a sample of 57 university students to analyze the use of "language variety in instant messaging." Out of this number, seven students were dropped due to some issues. Total 50 students were chosen and every individual respondent had more than 100 instant messages, so initially 5000 instant messages were dissected to analyze the language variety.
