Limba română actuală în social media: elemente de vocabular și grafie
Romanian Language in Social Media: Elements of Vocabulary and Writing

Summary/Abstract: Social media has lately become a fertile space for self-expression. The Internet is widely used for communication, generating a new way of conveying messages, sharing impressions or criticizing the negative aspects of society. Cyberlanguage is characterized by various means of enriching the vocabulary, revealing non-standard writing or lexical changes in the substance of Romanian. The present study aims at exemplifying how derivation, word formation, puns or unconventional orthography are represented in social media, especially Facebook. The corpus of the paper is mainly based on commentaries displayed on different pages belonging to Romanian journalists and collected in 2022, approaching the most significant aspects of internal politics.
