I am going to be be discussing and analysing my idolect as shown in the picture below, in the picture below I am having a conversation with a close friend over a messaging app called BlackBerry Messenger.
My use of slag shows that I am very comfortable with the person in which I am messaging, for example when I say "Defo" instead of definetly ,or when I say "kl" instead of cool, it shows that this conversation is informal. For example if I was in an interview with my potential employer I wouldn't use such words as "Defo" and "fam" because those words are to be used In mainly informal environments.
There is a little if any punctuation ,this also adds to the fact that this is an informal piece of text, the use of question marks and fullstops show that as this is a piece of text you have to define when you've finished a sentence or asking a question, That's the same with lower case and upper case letters with in this.
