The Influence of Social Media on the Evolution of the English Language.

This research paper dives into how social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok are changing the way we use English. By reviewing existing studies and conducting a survey, it explores how internet slang, memes, and emojis are shaping modern communication. The study shows how these digital trends are influencing grammar, vocabulary, and writing, especially among younger people. It points to a blend of visual and textual language that's becoming more common and sparks curiosity about what this means for the future of language standards. This project was carried out as part of a course in the Computer Science Department at VNR Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering and Technology.
