Summary/Abstract: Our study provides a multifaceted discourse analysis of young Romanians tackling different topics on YouTube vlogs. As the explicit goal of the vloggers under focus is to raise awareness on social and political problems, on the Romanian music or culture, on travels and leisure time activities, gadgets, technology, sports etc. we will pursue an in-depth analysis of their discourses, focusing on the way their discourse is shaped in order to be catchy and liked by their followers. The dynamics of the Romanian language is manifested today in its most obvious forms in the language of Internet users, especially vloggers. We will analyze the influence of Globish and English in the new created code of Romanian YouTubers. The Romanian language constitutes a matrix in which English and Globish are poured and they become part of a new dynamic code, destined to be changed at all levels: lexical, morphological and syntactical.
