Abstract

Social media has significantly influenced the way people communicate in English. The rapid rise of platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok has led to the creation of new words, phrases, and abbreviations that have become part of everyday language. This paper examines the impact of social media on English vocabulary, grammar, and communication styles. While social media has made language more dynamic and accessible, it has also raised concerns about the decline of formal writing skills and the spread of misinformation. The paper explores both the positive and negative effects of social media on English, with a focus on how digital communication shapes linguistic trends and global discourse.
