Philippine Normal University ABSTRACT This paper explores the patterns of emerging and existing acronymy, initialism, and blending in Netspeak. This study utilizes the Descriptive- Qualitative method to investigate the patterns of morphological processes involved in posts and comments in Facebook, which are qualified as the natural occurrences of Netspeak. Results of investigation show that the proliferation and continuous use of these processes are productive, meaningful, and reflective of netizens’ knowledge of pre-established morphological rules and patterns. More than the proliferation is the celebratory production of new patterns and words through the deviations and extensions of meanings of these processes. The traditional ways of defining them have been debunked by the presence of the many forms available in the internet. Based on more than 150 unfiltered entries that contain these processes, it argues that the productivity of Netspeak is far from deteriorating standard language because of its pattern- governed feature, acceptance, and comprehensibility which are all present in all standard language systems. It ultimately proves that instead of seeing Netspeak as a threat against the survival of the standard language, it must be seen as a complement of the arbitrariness and life of language itself. Keywords: Netspeak, acronymy, initialism, blending, media synchronicity, language productivity INTRODUCTION This section presents the background, purpose, theoretical and conceptual framework, and literature review of the study. The continuous demand for worldwide technological development in communication paves way to developing more efficient and extensive way of communication, may it be for transactional, interactive, or personal reasons.
