Document Summary

Literacy: is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate, compute and use printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. Textese- a written vocabulary that has emerged from texting practice. 1 initialisms 2 letter/number homohones 3 contractions or shortenigns 4 emotions 5 deletion of unnecessary words,vowels,punctuation,capitalization. Hybrid register- formal and informal language allowing a variation in tone within the context of a given message. Navigating social relationships in the experimentation of identities. Retroactive interference: information presented at a later time may interfere with information presented at an earlier time. Decay: learned information that is not accessed may be less accessible over time. Low road/high road: exposure to textese would transfer abbreviations unconsiciously to wask requiring similar processes. Situated learning using textese would transfer to more general writing because it is learned and then transferred unintentionally. Text messaging and textese have different relationships with literacy. Those with poorer literacy correlated to low-road tendencies-failure to code switch.
