Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis examines the impact of social media on language evolution and communication patterns in contemporary society. The proliferation of social media platforms has revolutionized the way individuals interact and communicate, leading to significant changes in language use and communication styles. This study aims to explore the multifaceted relationship between social media, language evolution, and communication patterns, shedding light on the implications of these changes for individuals and society as a whole. The research begins with an in-depth analysis of the theoretical background, highlighting the key concepts and frameworks that underpin the study. By examining existing literature on social media, language evolution, and communication theories, this study provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge in this field. Building on this foundation, the research proceeds to identify the research problem and objectives, setting the stage for the empirical investigation that follows. Methodologically, this study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative research techniques to gather and analyze data. Through surveys, interviews, and content analysis of social media platforms, the study seeks to capture the nuances of language use and communication patterns in the digital age. By triangulating data from multiple sources, the research aims to provide a rich and nuanced understanding of the impact of social media on language evolution and communication patterns. The findings of the study reveal a complex interplay between social media, language evolution, and communication patterns. The analysis uncovers the ways in which social media platforms shape language use, influence communication styles, and contribute to the emergence of new linguistic practices. Furthermore, the study examines the implications of these changes for individual identity, social relationships, and cultural dynamics, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges presented by the digital communication landscape. In conclusion, this thesis argues that social media has a profound impact on language evolution and communication patterns, reshaping the ways in which individuals express themselves and interact with others. By illuminating the dynamics of this transformation, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between technology, language, and society. The implications of this research extend to fields such as linguistics, communication studies, and digital media, offering valuable insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers alike.
