Abstract
Michael Irlbeck and Jacub Gonzalez Social Media and its Impact on the Spanish Language Rises in technology lead to various new opportunities for communication in one’s life in the form of social media.When one communicates, they tend to want to get across their message decisively. A common method people use is slang, which gravitates the attention of the viewer; typically, a younger audience. Within this presentation, there will be an examination of the correlation between social media slang with 13–21-year-old people and their impact on the Spanish language. Across social media sites such as TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook, the vocabulary of slang and abbreviation grows abundant. Jumping from site to site, slang expands and proves to be influential to the Spanish language by finding an alternative method to deliver a message. This research examines the ever-evolving Spanish language lexicon and provides insight on how languages evolve in tandem with technology.
