The impact of the language of the cellphone on the development of Northern Sotho

Thesis (M. A. (African Languages)) -- University of Limpopo, 2015 / The study focuses on the impact of the language of the cellphone on the development of Northern Sotho. The study argues that Northern Sotho lexicographers do not pay adequate attention to the cellphone language. This is why there are hardly any dictionaries that treat the cellphone language. The study shows that language of the cellphone should be treated like any other language. The study discovered that language of the cellphone assists in the development of African languages. In turn, this helps the cellphone users to close the gap between Northern Sotho and technological terms.
Lastly, the study recommends that language of the cellphone should not be ignored as technology is developing every minute.
