It highlights how new forms of expression, online communities, and democratized communication are redefining language use. While celebrating these changes, the book also addresses challenges like miscommunication, the need for digital literacy, and ethical concerns related to AI´s impact on language. Providing a nuanced perspective, it offers a valuable framework for understanding the complex relationship between language and technology, making it a significant contribution to modern linguistics.
