Resumo
This paper discusses the language modalities. I will first discuss spoken language – its characteristics and its uses. Next I will comment on written language and in the following section I will discuss the written language produced for synchronous communication through the internet. Besides having presented a new means of communication, the written language produced in real time has presented a new language modality that unites characteristics of both spoken and written language. I will argue that a dichotomy between the two language modalities does not justify and that the differences between spoken and written language are related to the function for which a text is produced.Referências
