Bernicot, J.; Goumi, A.; Bert-Erboul, A.; Volckaert-Legrier, O. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2014
The link between students' spelling level and their text-messaging practice gives rise to numerous questions from teachers, parents and the media. A corpus of 4524 text messages produced in daily-life situations by students in sixth and seventh grade (n?=?19, 11-12 years of age) was compiled. None of the participants had ever owned or used a…
