This paper will focus on the field of discourse analysis and one of the segments from that field – discourse markers. I will study the impact of gender, age and medium of communication on the language skills of young adults. Moreover, the focus will be put on emotions and their connection to language as well as on how to indicate them through texts. Emoticons are useful when people want to express something in a comfortable way. However, people are often unaware of signifying their emotional states and they often confuse other people with their messages. Young adults imply their emotions more indirectly so the need to practice reading emotions is crucial in order to avoid wrong interpretations and misunderstandings. Sometimes normal text messages are seen as offensive even though there is no specific tone to them. This comes as a consequence of male and female nature and the way they are argued to express their emotions and make conclusions about other. Comprehending human communication and emotions cannot be based only on words, sentences and syntax. People must understand the grammar and lexicon, but also language rules. Language rules differ from one social group to another and language learners must acknowledge them for the sake of better language and social skills. |
