“鋼筆”讓位于“發(fā)短信”？
Mobile texts harm written language?
|
The rising
popularity of text messaging on mobile phones poses a threat to writing
standards among Irish schoolchildren, an Irish education commission says.
The frequency of errors in grammar and punctuation has become a serious
concern, the State Examination Commission said in a report after reviewing
last year's exam performance by 15-year-olds.
"The emergence of the mobile phone and the rise of text messaging as a
popular means of communication would appear to have impacted on standards
of writing as evidenced in the responses of candidates," the report said,
according to Wednesday's Irish Times.
"Text messaging, with its use of phonetic spelling and little or no
punctuation, seems to pose a threat to traditional conventions in
writing."
The report laments that, in many cases, candidates seemed
"unduly reliant on short
sentences, simple tenses and a limited vocabulary."
In 2003, Irish 15-year-olds were among the top 10 performers in an
international league table of literacy standards compiled by the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

據(jù)周三的《愛爾蘭時(shí)報(bào)》消息，這份報(bào)告中稱，“手機(jī)的出現(xiàn)和手機(jī)短信日益成為一種流行的交流方式對(duì)書寫規(guī)范造成了不良影響，這在考生的答卷中得到了證明�！�
“發(fā)手機(jī)短信常用語音輸入法，很少或根本不用標(biāo)點(diǎn)，這對(duì)傳統(tǒng)的書寫規(guī)范造成了威脅�！�
報(bào)告指出，在很多情況下，考生“過度使用短句和簡單的時(shí)態(tài)，所用的詞匯也很有限�！�
