Evolution of the lexical system of language in the 21st century: navigating the intersection of global change and intertextuality

The central objective of the present study is to ascertain the impact of global change and intertextual cohesion on the evolution of lexical systems in the twenty-first century. In light of this, a range of concepts, including hypertextuality, transmedia narrative, meme culture, postmodern adaptation, intermediality, globalization, and cross-cultural intertextuality, were explored. The significance of the study lies in its exploration of the modern terminology of the digital era and its analysis of how these concepts shape language. The study utilized linguistic data from digital communication and online texts by employing qualitative approaches such as discourse analysis and content analysis. The study underscored the role of globalization, digital communication, and cultural exchange in shaping linguistic development, acknowledging the significance of sociological influences in this process. By taking into account intertextuality, culture, and contemporary concepts, the study illuminates the intricate nature of language development in the 21st century and emphasizes the necessity for comprehensive and interconnected approaches to the study of language in a global context.
