Abstract
The focus of this research is on the morphological, semantic, and typographic features of youth language on social media. The goal is to explore new pragmatic uses of these features and determine how they differ from past practices. Understanding youth language on social media requires an understanding of the features of computer-mediated communication, which directly reflect the features of this type of youth language. The morphological features examined in this study are abbreviations and... More initialisms, which are primarily used for linguistic economy, however, initialisms also serve to express intensified emotions or to cover up expletives. A further analysis of semantic changes is conducted to determine the motivation behind the observed semantic extensions, and it was concluded that in the analyzed corpus the new meanings of words are used mostly to express strong emotions, attitudes, and reactions, both positive and negative, but also to create and maintain an in-group feeling. Young people get involved in language play with others because of the feeling of belonging to that group and the development of their own identity. Youth create innovative language as a result of feeling included in the community. The analysis has also revealed that emotionally laden language is pervasive on social media. Some of the ways young people express their attitudes and emotions are using different means of intensification, e.g., adverbial intensifiers, but also typographic features, such as caps lock, use of special characters, exclamation points, and letter repetitions.

Abstract (croatian)
Fokus ovog istraživanja je na morfološkim, semantičkim i tipografskim značajkama jezika mladih na društvenim mrežama. Cilj je istražiti nove pragmatične upotrebe ovih značajki i utvrditi kako se razlikuju od prošlih uporaba. Razumijevanje jezika mladih na društvenim mrežama zahtijeva razumijevanje značajki računalno posredovane komunikacije, koje izravno odražavaju značajke ove vrste jezika mladih. Morfološka obilježja koja se ispituju u ovom istraživanju su kratice i inicijalizmi, koji se... More prvenstveno koriste za jezičnu ekonomičnost, međutim, inicijalizmi služe i za izražavanje pojačanih osjećaja ili za prikrivanje psovki. Daljnjom analizom semantičkih promjena utvrđuje se motivacija uočenih semantičkih proširenja, te se zaključuje da se u analiziranom korpusu nova značenja riječi koriste uglavnom za izražavanje jakih osjećaja, stavova i reakcija, kako pozitivnih tako i negativnih, ali i za stvaranje i održavanje osjećaja pripadnosti grupi. Mladi se uključuju u jezičnu igru s drugima zbog osjećaja pripadnosti grupi i razvoja vlastitog identiteta. Mladi stvaraju inovativan jezik kao rezultat osjećaja uključenosti u zajednicu. Analiza je također otkrila da je jezik koji služi emocioalnom izražavanju sveprisutan na društvenim mrežama. Neki od načina na koje mladi ljudi izražavaju svoje stavove i osjećaje je korištenje različitih sredstva intenzifikacije, npr. adverbijalne intenzifikatore, ali i tipografske značajke, kao što su caps lock, upotreba posebnih znakova, uskličnika i ponavljanja slova.
