Az egyetemisták internet kommunikációja
In this study, we deal with the Internet communication characteristics of the students of the Ukrainian-Hungarian Educational and Scientific Institute. With the development of technology and the world, our use of language also changes. We can observe this every day in relation to the evolution of our own vocabulary, but we can also experience it by hearing the communication of others. We can often notice that words that we have read on the Internet, that one of our interlocutors has used, and we use them because we like them, maybe to save time, are incorporated into our vocabulary. Of course, young people are characterized by a much more active use of the Internet, and this change in language use appears much more intensively for them. The questionnaire research was designed to assess the extent to which the students use emojis, abbreviations, and foreign adaptations, and whether they only use this help during Internet conversations to improve the pace, or perhaps apply it in personal communication as well. The first few questions were related to age, gender, and habits, and we used open and closed questions to ask about the characteristics that revealed online and live oral characteristics. We can see that students express most of their emotions with emoticons and using abbreviations. Internet slang words are used only in certain cases, they know when to express their thoughts without them. In their opinion, internet slang can convey feelings through abbreviations, words and emoticons that would not be possible otherwise. Despite the fact that not all students use Internet slang these days, it can be said that these words and abbreviations are present in everyone's passive vocabulary, and if they come across them, they can interpret them and even use them. TheInternet has an increasing influence on the use of language by Internet users, which contains both positive and negative characteristics. Since the Internet is already present in everyone's life, its use of language is not to be condemned, but rather we should strive to understand and accept it.
