Cyberspeech: Password to Cyberspace

Mediterranean journal of social sciences, 2013

As the developed world moves from the industrial age to the information age, little in this world is changing as fast as language education and educational technology. It is challenging to believe that computers are supposed to provide individualized instruction in almost every subject, and which are valuable tools for building basic skills, developing problem-solving strategies and, thus, providing innovative methods for languages. Henceforth, the present paper calls for ways of how may computers affect individuals, managing, at the same time, computer use in language learning by establishing a sound interaction between computers and human minds.Computer networks offer language teachers and students reliable help by sharing information and other resources as schools develop new ways of applying technology. In a word, human language technologies (HLT) hold much promise for the developing world.

The rapid development of the Internet has brought a new world that is quick, convenient, and colorful to the current globe. It has also created a new culture, namely, cyber culture, which is now deeply influencing people's life style and changing their concept as well. A great number of people communicate frequently in this virtual world with a new form of language, which is defined as cyber language in this thesis. In recent years, disputes on cyber language take shape with both positive and negative attitude. This paper focuses on the classification and causes of cyber language.

New language technologies are coming, thanks to the huge and competing private investment fuelling rapid progress; we can either understand and foresee their effects, or be taken by surprise and spend our time trying to catch up. This report scketches out some transformative new technologies that are likely to fundamentally change our use of language. Some of these may feel unrealistically futuristic or far-fetched, but a central purpose of this report - and the wider LITHME network - is to illustrate that these are mostly just the logical development and maturation of technologies currently in prototype. But will everyone benefit from all these shiny new gadgets? Throughout this report we emphasise a range of groups who will be disadvantaged and issues of inequality. Important issues of security and privacy will accompany new language technologies. A further caution is to re-emphasise the current limitations of AI. Looking ahead, we see many intriguing opportunities and new capabil...

21st century has witnessed the qualitative advances in ontological reality structuring and approaches to perception and cognition by the human mind. The study objective is the investigation of the innovative philosophic aspects of cyberspace through the lenses of the language development processes in the sphere of innovative computer technologies and digital communication. The study design is the disclosure of cyberspace as an ontology model and as a linguistic model in the template of a logosphere. The linguistic philosophy approach to the study of cyberspace allows to efficiently investigate the empirical manifestation of cyberspace ontology (space and time dimensions), the generic categories and dimensions of cyber-epistemology, to denote existential anthropocentric character of cyberspace. Philosophical foundations of the study of cyberspace as an integrated macro-and micro-entity are determined by the substantive features of inovative logosphere as a macrostructure and by the p...

At the same time that cyberspace has created some opportunities, such as higher efficiency of critical infrastructures and a lower barrier cost venue for non-state actors to project their ideas and voices, the securitisation of the digital domain happens. Society's collective imaginary has already created some catastrophic scenario projections directed to states and military manoeuvres. Besides, recent geopolitical movements related to emerging technologies, have rekindled ideas towards power in cyberspace. These developments increase concerns about instability in cyberspace and deserve some consideration and more in-depth debate.
