Abstract

The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the internet on language, elucidating both the positive and negative aspects of this phenomenon. The principal objective is to identify the principal changes occurring in language as a consequence of the influence of digital technologies and social media, and to assess their impact on language culture and communication. The article provides a comprehensive overview of the Internet’ impact on language, encompassing both positive and negative aspects of this impact. The positive effects include the enrichment of the lexicon, accelerated dissemination of information, and the creation of new forms of communication. Conversely, the negative effects include the simplification of language, the loss of cultural and linguistic features, and the spread of misinformation. Specific focus is given to contemporary trends and developments in online communication, which contribute to the formation of novel communicative norms and etiquette. In light of the accelerated pace of technological advancement and the growing influence of the Internet in our daily lives, it is crucial to examine its impact on language and communication. An understanding of the positive and negative aspects of this impact enables the assessment of how the digital age is changing our language and ways of communication. Furthermore, it facilitates the development of strategies for the preservation of linguistic richness and cultural identity. The article will be of interest to those engaged in the study of language and communication, as well as to a wider audience of readers with an interest in the latest developments in language and technology.
