The Effect of Teen Language to Vietnamese People
Teenagers make wrong pronunciation – Teen write words wrong so they pronounce words wrong, gradually this will badly affect the way they pronounce words. For example: if they text sms “an kom ruj”, the receivers will pronounce “ăn cơm rùi” instead of “ăn cơm rồi”. - Speaking and writing in teen language distort the grammar and spelling standards. At first, teen want to take notes quickly so they use these words, but later it becomes a habit and unconditioned reflex. To the extent that they can’t control it and can’t even distinguish between "cúi" (xuống) and "cuối" (cùng). From a person who never makes spelling mistakes, suddenly you become scared of the basic words.
A CV full of mistakes and some people don’t even know how to compile a document.

- Teenagers read a chain of hard to understand words fluently, but they’re hesitant and stop suddenly when reading a normal paragraph.

- It ruins Vietnames language, make Vietnamese lose its purity and Vietnam lose its cultural identity. It is a sign that young people show no respect to the beauty of their mother tongue.

- It leads to the lazy habits of thinking, lack of patience in study and in work, and it affect your personality.

- Short and emotionless answers such as “biết chết liền”, “hên xui” become popular.
There are some people who “pretend” to forget their proper Vietnamese and try to use some teen words to appear “cool.” For example, if you sit by the street surrounded by labors or elders and try to use teen languge, you may make people around irritated and they will see you as a show-off.

- Though your way of talking and writing are new and unique, you have to make the listeners and the readers understand instead of making them guess and try to figure out what you say or write or sometimes the listeners or readers misunderstand your messages that you convey.

- Vietnamese learners feel difficult or confused in learning Vietnamese

    Communication is one of the most challenging skills for me. When learning this new challenging skill, I am asked to initially overcome fears against the odds, which slowly appear surmountable with the passage of time. For me the ability of communication is like building a tower, then writing skill is a part of the tower and I call it “wall brick”. In order for this tower to stand the bricks must be strong. Though flourished rhetoric in writing can enhance a paper in some aspects, I believe that a logical structure is the key to quality composition. Wring, in any language, was never appreciated by me. Thus I just had some inferior bricks at first. I kept those low-grade materials and tumbledown “tower” for a long time until I transferred to another high school where I met my wonderful teachers. I used to hate writing, but when I entered my new high school the way I write has been totally impacted and was deeply branded.…

    In the article “A Way with Words, or Away with Words: Effect of Texting and IM’ing on Language,” Timothy Barranco debates whether the texting language will have a positive or negative impact on our English language. The author argues that the youth are becoming “bilingual,” whereas others believe the text language is a “degradation of proper English.” (Barranco Pg., 27) Being bilingual at a young age will allow for better opportunities in the future when it comes to jobs. The author conducts research on this subject by contacting Naomi Baron a professor of linguistics at the American University in Washington D.C; which includes “teenagers naturally drift away from the txt language.” (Baron Pg.28) Barranco compares the modern text language to the Ebonics language in the article and argues that regardless for what kind of dialect is being spoken, it should be valued for expanding new ways to use the English language. The topic of texting being a concern is nothing new says Barranco; he believes people will always question change, so the texting language should not be something to fret over. The author concludes with a statement saying that people should accept change and use the language as a tool instead of considering it a burden.…

    “Text messaging or texting, as it’s more commonly called- is the process of sending and receiving typed messages via a cellular phone (Graff, Birkenstein and Durst).” It is a common source of communication now because teenagers use it frequently and business people use it as well to communicate to other people without having to get on a phone call with another. Many people when their typing use abbreviations to stop from having to write the whole word out, but some people believe that using it hinder writing abilities of students. But others believe that texting has a positive effect on writing. Then again it is likely that texting has no effect on teenager’s writing. “A September 2008 article in USA Today entitled “Texting, Testing Destroys Kids’ Writing Style” summarizes many of the most common complaints about the effect of texting (Graff, Birkenstein and Durst).” It said that only 25% of high school seniors are good writers. A former teacher, Jacquie Ream, blames the use of abbreviations and acronyms in text messages for students not being able to write and spell. Some teachers are starting to see a decline in writing skills with their students. They also complain that their students are neglecting to use the punctuation, commas, apostrophes, and capital letters because when they text they neglect their simple writing skills. Texting has become a second nature language for…

    John McWhorter, an author and linguist, once said “Texting is very loose in its structure. No one thinks about capital letters or punctuation when one texts, but then again, do you think about those things when you talk?” McWhorter makes a vital point at the end of his quote. He states that people generally do not think about adhering to proper grammar rules when they talk, so naturally people do not consider utilizing them while texting, which is essentially talking in written form. As a result of people becoming adjusted to texting as they talk, in a loose, casual manner with little to no regard to strict, confining rules of proper speech, texting is no more of a threat to peoples’ grammar than everyday conversation is, and generations prior…
