Summary/Abstract: Phonetics MUSE Service (PMS) constitutes a new linguistic capital, a particular textual kind which was born thanks to the electronic communication which knows an exponential development. It is a form of writing which destructs the distinction between the oral discourse and the scriptural one and makes essential a redefinition of the oral speech/written speech. In this article, we analyzed the structure and the form of the variety PMS, which has enabled to us to establish its constant characteristics. The abreviations, slangs, rebuses are the processes most employed. The recurring use of the PMS makes it possible for its users to disobey the established order, to contest the commonly allowed rules and to forge a new identity.
