Summary/Abstract: The study examines some aspects of the impact of digital communication on language and the change in contemporary communication. Our study is focused on the transition that the Romanian language from Moldova made in the last decades. Focusing on the intersection of technology and linguistics we will bring some results of our investigation 107 Philologia LXVI 2024 IANUARIE-IUNIE of how digital platforms such as media, instant messaging, and online communities (most of them professional ones), serve as catalysts for linguistic innovations and the formation of hybrid aspects of language. The study also addresses some dynamics of language in its transition from one influence to another in the context of political and social changes. Rapid exchanges and cultural convergences foster the proliferation of hybrid forms. Understanding these processes is vital for monitoring the evolving nature of languages and for building a framework for language policies and identity, especially important for the society of the Republic of Moldova, which captured and transferred the imprint of the political and historical changes from generation to generation.
