Abstract:
Giving the popularity of social networking sites lately, it has made an effect on the English language either in a positive way by adding new words to the dictionary a negative way by misusing the grammar and using incorrect abbreviated words like turning “you’re” to “your’. In this research proposal I would like to investigate what the effect of using social networks has on the English language and see if it was more positive than negative and vice versa. I will be making a survey page to collect data on the way people use these sites. Furthermore, we will see if people know the importance of using proper English and try to make social networking sites improve our way of using the English language.
Introduction:
Technology has changed rapidly in the past five years, we became more reliant on our smart phones and it completely changed the way we communicate with each other in our everyday life, it made it easier for us to interact with people across the world with a single touch through social networking sites, such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Technology is clearly having some impact on the
English language and the words we use. Recently we saw how some Internet words have made it to the Oxford dictionary this proves the impact it made, for example the word “Tweet” which means according to the dictionary: “a posting made on the social networking service Twitter”. However, some people think that it is okay to misuse Grammar or word spelling on social networking sites, for instance, using “your” instead of “You’re”.
