Deformación lingüística provocada por el uso de la red social tiktok en jóvenes de entre 14 a 17 años.

Abstract

Linguistic resources have currently been exposed to various aspects of variation from an adverse level; due to the cultural, social and communicative evolution by the groups of speakers, the order and structure of the codes, contexts and principles of formal expression, have been drastically transformed, losing meaning and literary aesthetics. Thus, one of the problems for the presence of this linguistic deformation is the use of technology, through electronic devices (tablets, cell phones, laptops and the Internet), which has caused an expressive change without the presence of a grammatical structure, since this does not have established rules that protect the Castilian language in a certain way. Teenagers’ users between 14 and 17 years old present communicative, grammatical, orthographic and literary problems regarding the phenomenon of the deformation of their mother tongue and all the elements that compose it (orality and writing), due to various components such as family environment, social, academic or cultural development and virtual interconnection for the online communication process, as well as obtaining information through social networks, when emitting or receiving content with linguistic problems, all these factors together can become repetitive, even more so in their communicative aspects at the oral or written level, since they abbreviate words, use symbols or emoticons to express their ideas immediately. In this sense, one of the social networks that includes the largest number of young users at an international level is TikTok, who freely and without any restriction use said platform not only for entertainment, but rather as a resource for communicative expression, which that exposes them to unfavorable circumstances such as psycho- emotional alteration, loss of interpersonal relationships, dependence on mobile devices, adaptation to trends from idioms, adoption of slang and publications with inappropriate vocabulary.
