Critical Discourse Analysis of English in New Media

Abstract

Social media's impact on the English language has significantly changed how language is viewed and used as modern online communication emerges. The English language setting has seen various shifts as a result of internet accessibility. Through the use of critical discourse analysis, this study investigated the impact of social media on a group of first-year college students at Batangas State University-The National Engineering University's English language competency. It investigated a sample of respondents' social media preferences, usage patterns, and purposes. The results show that social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are mostly used for communication by 18 to 19-year-old females, and their utilization is conceived to have an impact on English language proficiency. Meanwhile, the morphosyntactic and code-mixing features of English in online discourses are made explicit by the thematic analysis of the respondents' collected online postings and messages, highlighting the developments and processes. The study's overall finding was that the internet has established a significant impact on language by fostering creativity, hybridization, and adaptability to new communicative environments.
