Recognise the impact of media and technology on the way Italian is changing as a language of local and international communication (ACLITU074)
Elaborations
- discussing global and cultural influences on the Italian language and noticing when and how hybrid forms are used, for example, use of numbers, mathematical symbols, single letters and acronyms to replace words in SMS messaging, such as TVTB (ti voglio tanto bene), 6 (sei), x (per)
- investigating the impact of the media on the Italian language by analysing headlines, advertisements and news reports, and comparing these with texts in English (for example, comparisons of vocabulary or syntax) noticing how English is modifying Italian in particular spheres, for example, language used in the entertainment industry, in movies and television series; and language used to express contemporary concepts (match, hardware, fast food, acquagym, relax, weekend, budget, fiction)
