El chat, un género discursivo emergente que transita entre la oralidad y la escritura, estudio de caso.

Abstract

This research arises from the ignorance and rejection of new forms of communication mediated by the technologies, since chat isn´t recognized as a possible emerging genre that allows other forms of interaction between students, since the network is a virtual learning support, which is autonomous, as it is used in extraclass environments. The study is part of the linguistic-discursive characterization of chat as an emerging genre. This is a case study that was developed with Cycle Three students, about their interaction written on the social network Facebook. For this we rely on the theoretical postulates of authors such as Cassany (2012), Noblia (2008), Bajtín (1982), Calsamiglia (1999), Vilá (2005), Mayans (2002), Yus), Among others, on electronic literacy, virtual writing, textual linguistic characteristics of oral and written discourses, orality, traits of discursive genres and gender chat. The study makes it possible to establish that the chat that preadolescents use has particularities of both oral and written, which make it a unique discourse, because it is a meaningful and creative written communication that can favor the development of verbal skills.
