The article discusses the impact of the Internet on language use and,
more specifically, analyzes the frequent mixing/switching of Slovene
and English in Slovene blogs (so-called Sloglish). This new discourse
type, combining elements of written and oral communication, is highly
interactive in nature and allows for flexibility, variation and language innovation.
On the other hand, some see it as too globalized and uniform as
well as a threat to the language norm. Slovene blogs are analyzed linguistically
(vocabulary, syntax, spelling, punctuation) and interpreted from
the sociolinguistic and pragmatic perspectives (the issue of personal,
cultural and social identities of bloggers; local vs. global). Prispevek obravnava splošni vpliv internetnega medija na jezik in
podrobneje analizira slovenske bloge, v katerih se pogosto prepletata
slovenščina in angleščina oz. t. i. sloglish. Za novo diskurzivno zvrst,
ki združuje elemente pisne in govorne komunikacije, so po eni strani
značilne visoka stopnja interaktivnosti, variabilnost, fleksibilnost in jezikovne
inovacije, po drugi pa ji nekateri očitajo preveliko globaliziranost,
uniformiranost in ogrožanje jezikovne norme. Slovenski blogi so analizirani
z jezikovnega vidika (besedje, skladnja, pravopis) in interpretirani s
sociolingvističnega in pragmatičnega vidika (vprašanje osebne, kulturne
in družbene identitete uporabnikov; odnos med lokalnim in globalnim).
