Description

I've been a part of dA for several years now, and I really do love it. It has provided me with new friends, learning opportunities and lots of laughs.

Recently, as part of my English studies at college, I had to do a linguistics study into an aspect of language of our choice. I chose to look at the language of deviantart and how it is used to build a strong community. To sum up the findings at the end, I had to write a media text in a relevant style, and I came up with this piece here.

I aimed to present it much like the Journal articles from HQ, hence the features, questions for the reader, and so on.

Deviations featured:

ART Language by ~morgueprincess - fav.me/d4yph1

deviantART Home by =jonathoncomfortreed - fav.me/d2y5m4p

C is for communication by ~Waterboy1992 - fav.me/d5afhep

Communication by *AimishBoy - fav.me/d2we6h9

I really loved all the above pieces, really felt like they visualised what I was trying to say. They are all well worth checking out (the stamp one says things, it obviously doesn't work in this picture.)

To the artists: Please let me know if you don't want your work included in this and I will take it down immediately.

Feel free to download for a bigger image.

A just-text version can be found here: fav.me/d6wokkj Might be a little easier to read.

Hope it makes for an interesting read
