Summary/Abstract: The goal of the current study is to examine language use in social media from a pragmatic standpoint. The social media blogs will be the main topic of the pragmatic examination. We began by investigating what social media actually is and stands for. Thus, social media refers to any kind of electronic communication, such as social networking websites that help build online communities (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Myspace). Users contribute information, images, audio and video files, and other resources inside these communities. We'll try to demonstrate how the language used in these societies has evolved its own quirks and traits. Due to the rapid advancement of technology, Internet slang is extremely significant, and users must stay current with the most recent incarnations of the language in use. Even though they are occasionally inadvertently broken, pragmatic tools like Conversational Implicature, Maxims of Conversation, intended meaning, etc. are nonetheless observed and respected.
