Abstract

t. This study investigates the impact of social media on language and
communication patterns in contemporary culture. As social media platforms
continue to affect relationships, they influence linguistic choices, communication
methods, and the evolution of language. The study looks at how brevity, emojis, and
multimedia on social media sites such as Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok let people
express themselves in new ways and create a distinct fusion of casual and formal
speech. It talks on the rise of digital dialects, how hashtags influence conversations,
and how these things affect literacy and language acquisition. The study also
discusses issues with language deterioration and the possibility of
misunderstandings in a fast-paced digital setting. In the end, this study emphasizes
how social media is a two-edged sword—it can be used to innovate language while
also challenging established communication conventions.
