The development of social media has significantly transformed communication practices in contemporary society. Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter provide users with new environments for interaction, leading to noticeable changes in language use. This review article examines the influence of social media on modern language by analyzing existing research in linguistics and communication studies. The review focuses on lexical innovation, orthographic and grammatical variation, and the emergence of new discourse patterns in online communication.
