Throughout the history of civilization, a new means of linguistic communication has always brought about significant changes in our way of communicating. Such means are the printing press in the fifteenth century, the telegraph and telephone in the nineteenth century, and finally television and the Internet in the twentieth century. However, the breadth and significance of the Internet in the sociolinguistic and stylistic complexity of the language is unprecedented and comparable to that of the conventional audio and visual quality of linguistic aspects. Unlike previous means of communication, the Internet is global, interactive and electronic. These media characteristics have different influences on language development. Furthermore, the Internet also redefines the relationship between the written and spoken aspects of language: according to Dr. David Crystal, the language of the Internet is called "written speech" or "spoken writing". In spoken language, there are two main differences between Internet language (also known as Netspeak) and face-to-face conversation: first, in electronic conversation situations there is a lack of simultaneous feedback, and second, The pace of interaction in electronic conversational situations is slower than in conversational speaking situations. Furthermore, in written language, while traditional writing is static and permanent, Internet writing can be revised and restructured if necessary. Despite the fact that Netspeak exhibits graphical and visual aspects, it can be said with certainty that Netspeak has both spoken and written properties (Crystal 47). In the sociolinguistic aspect, the Internet has created the so-called virtual community. It is true that the Internet is wired all over the world and, at first glance, the Internet is not a simple technological revolution but also historical-social revolutions. The characteristic of Internet activity lies in the interactivity between users with the use of language, mainly English, which has brought the world community closer than ever. Now, for a long time, English has been spoken by an overwhelming number of non-native speakers, and some of the English they use are distinctive varieties of non-standard English. At this point, it is difficult to predict the grammatical changes that non-standard English might cause to standard English in the future, the influence of non-native speakers on English seems inevitable despite the persistent resistance of native speakers against the deep structural changes.Works citeCrystal, David.
