My12-year-old daughter loves to stretch out spoken and written words by adding extra letters. When I read about a new study that analyzed the u ofstretchable words (拉长词) in over 100 billion tweets between 2008 and 2016, I texted my daughter a link with the message, “I thought of youuuu w hen I readthis study about streeetccchabblee words.” She replied, “Haaahahaha Youuuuknowww me soooooo wellll”
破釜沉舟近义词
Stretchability is a powerful linguistic(语言学的) device that makes a writtenword visually f
orceful. That goes for the"gooooooaaaaaaal"of a soccer announcer, a teenager’s“finallyyyyy”, and a surfer ’s"aweeeeeesome" And“booooy” is popular on Twitter. Writing in the journal PLOS ONE, the rearchersdetail how they combed through 100 billion tweets, mapping how often thewords are stretched, and how far they are elongated(拉长)ー“haha” versus“hahahahaaaa”, for example.Stretchable words are playful and fun. But, as a parent, I sometimes worrythat constantly using misspelled stretched words could make it hard for kidslike my daughter who is now in venth grade to write in a more formal style when it becomes necessary in high school, college, and beyond.
The latest rearch on stretched words by Tyler Gray and colleagues at theUniversity of Vermont is the most comprehensive study to date that us bigdata to analyze how people u stretched words on a social media platform. Notably, the title of Gray 's paper, "Hahahahaha, Duuuuude, Yeeessss! " includes three different examples of stretchable words. All kidding aside, this rearchprovides valuable insights into new linguistic patterns surrounding the dynamicsof purpoly mistyping and misspelling some words
I have mixed feelings about the incread u of stretched words. On theone hand, I love the occasional u of a stretchable word in a text message; stretched words make written and spoken language more emotive without the u of an emoji or emoticon. It will be interesting to e if stretchedwords in casual correspondence just indicate a short-lived fashion, or if theyare here to stay and need to be added to dictionaries. However, stretching out too many words in a text can be annoying and reduces their effect.
24. Why did the author nd her daughter the message“I thought ”?
A. To do it playfully.
B. To remind her of the new trend.
C. To show her the power of linguistics.
D. To inspire her to analyze stretchable words
25. What's the author 's concern about kids u of stretched words?
