A STUDY ON THE ONLINE LANGUAGE OF THE YOUNG TODAY BASED ON THE SOCIAL PLATFORM FACEBOOK

The online language of young people on social platforms is being studied by linguists in general and Vietnamese linguists in particular. The author has researched the hot trend speech patterns (new trends) that young people often use on Facebook and surveyed the characteristics of the origin, linguistic characteristics, and socio-cultural characteristics of this new language. The author used qualitative and quantitative research methods from the data source, which are hot trend words and sentence patterns in chats, articles, and comments on Facebook. The research results show three basic sources of hot trend language: movies, music videos, clips, and posts on social networks. Hot trend sentence patterns are used in three basic forms: inserting English into Vietnamese speech, using slang, and using new structures. This is a breakthrough in the Vietnamese language, contributing significantly to enriching the Vietnamese language and making the language of young people unique.
