Las redes sociales como factor en la evolución del discurso moderno en inglés
Resumen
La relevancia del estudio se debe a que las redes sociales se han convertido no solo en el medio de comunicación dominante, sino también en un catalizador de la profunda transformación del idioma inglés. En la era digital, el inglés se adapta a las exigencias de velocidad, multimodalidad y expresividad emocional, lo que genera nuevos desafíos para su enseñanza como lengua extranjera. El estudio tiene como objetivo aclarar cómo las
redes sociales influyen en la estructura, las funciones y las normas estilísticas del inglés moderno, así como determinar las implicaciones pedagógicas de estos cambios para la educación en EFL. La metodología combina análisis de contenido cuantitativo, análisis discursivo cualitativo y la generalización de datos estadísticos procedentes de informes internacionales de referencia. Los resultados revelan un aumento del contenido en inglés
en las redes sociales hasta el 74,5% en 2025, un rápido crecimiento de neologismos y una tendencia creciente hacia la economía sintáctica. Los usuarios están configurando nuevos códigos pragmáticos y visual-semiológicos, otorgando al inglés una naturaleza híbrida que combina discursos escritos, orales y visuales. El análisis de conglomerados y de factores para 2019–2025 permitió clasificar las redes sociales según su nivel de innovación lingüística e identificar los principales impulsores del cambio lingüístico digital. El modelado predictivo sugiere un mayor crecimiento del contenido en inglés para 2027, reforzando su estatus como lengua franca digital global. Los resultados ofrecen un valor práctico para actualizar las metodologías de EFL y fortalecer la competencia comunicativa digital del estudiantado.
