This study explores the influence of modern digital communication platforms—specifically social networks and text-based chat applications—on the lexical and semantic structure of contemporary language. In an era characterized by rapid technological advancement and digital interaction, the Internet has emerged not only as a medium of communication but also as a catalyst for linguistic innovation. The research investigates how chats, emojis, abbreviations, and borrowed English lexicon contribute to the evolution of language by transforming word meanings, simplifying structures, and introducing new semiotic elements.
