The relationship between spoken language and the language we use when we text is vastly similar but different when the aspects of each are considered.

Close relationship: Word choice

Mutual relationship: Capital letters, emoticons, “Lol” use of abbreviations

Overall structure : Idiomatic phrases, sound features in speech, omissions in speech, accent in speech, paralinguistic phrases in speech, abbreviations in text, agenda setting in speech and text, modifications in text for brevity.
