The leading role of the intonation-rhetorical principle led to the emergence of a tendency of weakened punctuation, the influence of colloquial speech and electronic communications led to a change in the functions of some marks, for example, dot (point “sharpness”), question mark (uptalk), ellipsis (interpreted as “weed” mark), semicolons, dashes, hyphens, underscoring ruler, uppercase letters.
