This transcript is informal because of the fact that it is a casual chat with a freind. "Yh" is an abbreviation of the word "Yes" or "Yeah" in which is primarily used when in agreement with someone or something, "Yh" can be used in a numbe of ways, within this transcript "Yh" was In fact used to show that I had agreed with the past statement in which my associate had sent me.
"Defo" is an abbreviation of "Definitely" in which also is similar to "Yh" this is due to the fact that they both are words mainly used to agree with someone's opinion or statement. Throughout this transcript I find that there is a lot of Phatic language (Language used to be sociable) this is due to the fact that it is an informal conversation between me and a friend ,But if we take a more deeper approach we could justify that the transcript also has Transactional Language (language used to pass on information) this is because of the fact that my associate asks "Yeah. But what song again" you can infer that I am then going to pass on information about the song I have then chosen.
"Kl" is an abbreviation of the word "cool" in which is a slang term which has a number of meanings for example "those shoes look cool" or "I'm fine, I'm cool" the differmt meanings make it sometimes confusing to depictiate what the writer is actually saying because of the fact that it is in a written format instead of a verbal format, it's easier to identify what context the work "Kl" could be in, from the speakers tone and announciation of the word, but in this transcript "Kl" was used the same way as "Yh" to show that I was able to understand what my accociates last statement was.
"Yo" is a slang term for the word "Hello" in which can be justified as being both Phatic and Transational language because it is normally a conversation starter, As shown in the picture "Yo" had a question mark which shows that he was saying this in a questionable format.
