Sažetak
In this paper asynchronous online discussions of high school pupils and students were compared. The methodological approach taken was to measure the amount of Netspeak elements in the discussion professor-student on LMS Moodle. Netspeak is a new language form that generates itself from a spoken language. It is developing very rapidly and through use of new technologies (Skype, Facebook, Viber, Whatsapp, etc.) becoming more and more the global language. Its main feature is the extensive use of abbreviations, emoticons, and punctuations. In order to conduct the analysis and measure amount of Netspeak elements in mentioned discussions, ten Netspeak standards have been used that are divided in four following groups: standard related to information and communication technology (ICT), Grammar and syntax (G), Prosody (P) and Others (O). A comparison of these two groups of participants in asynchronous online discussions revealed some similarities and differences among them. As expected, the amount of Netspeak elements was greater among high school pupils than among students. Both students and pupils used most frequently ICT standards and the least frequently prosody standards. The results also indicate that students are more adept to formal online communication than pupils and that women use more emoticons than man in asynchronous online discussions.
