DIGITAL AGE OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF MODERN VS. TRADITIONAL COMMUNICATION STYLES

Abstract

In today's digital age, the evolution of communication styles has been profound, particularly within the realm of the English language. This exploratory study delves into the contrasting dynamics of modern digital communication styles and traditional modes of communication. The research aims to examine the nuanced differences between these two paradigms, considering factors such as language use, linguistic features, and communicative strategies. Through a combination of qualitative methods, including content analysis, the study seeks to uncover patterns and trends in how individuals navigate and negotiate communication in the digital age compared to traditional forms of interaction. By exploring the intersections of language, technology, and social behavior, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities inherent in contemporary English language communication practices. Furthermore, the findings of this study have implications for language educators, policymakers, and communication professionals, offering insights into the evolving nature of language use and the impact of digital technologies on linguistic expression and interaction.
