This article examines the transformative influence of digital media on language styles and communication practices across text, image, and video formats. The study explores how the integration of multimodal elements—such as emojis, memes, and short videos—has altered traditional norms of language use, contributing to the emergence of hybrid linguistic structures and dynamic communication strategies. By analyzing diverse digital communication modes, the research highlights how brevity, creativity, and interactivity have become central features of modern discourse, particularly in social media platforms. The findings reveal that digital media not only reshapes the way we communicate but also fosters new language trends, such as informal syntax, innovative spelling, and the fusion of visual and verbal elements. This study contributes to the understanding of how digital technologies mediate language evolution and cultural expression in the 21st century.
