Evolution of Digital Communication on Language and Literature: A Contemporary Analysis

Dr. S. Sangeetha

Abstract

In today's interconnected world, digital communication plays a major role in exchanging information through digital technology. The term "digital" originated from the Latin word "digitus," meaning "finger" or "toe," and has evolved to encompass anything involving computers and electronics. This evolution reflects technological advancements from the 1940s to contemporary developments. Communication, essential for human interaction, has progressed from primitive forms to digital discourse. This development not only showcases technological progress but also the intricate interplay of culture, cognition, and social dynamics.

Keywords: Digital communication, language evolution, sociolinguistic patterns, digital discourse.

Introduction

Our communication has changed at a rate never seen before in an age driven mostly by technological innovation. Language has undergone significant transformation in the digital age, impacting not only our written and spoken words but also our interpersonal communication, information sharing, and emotional expression (3). Uncovering the nuances of this constantly changing linguistic landscape, this study investigates how technology affects language and communication.

Research Objectives

1. Explore how digital communication platforms have influenced language use across different demographics and online contexts.
2. Assess the effectiveness of conveying messages in digital communication and how language adapts to new technologies and mediums.
3. Examine the development of digital literature and its impact on literary forms, linguistic practices, and instructional techniques.
4. Investigate the sociolinguistic implications of digital communication, including changes in social identities, interpersonal connections, and power dynamics.
