Abstract
With an emphasis on social media engagement, this thesis examines the pragmatic elements of formal and informal language in digital English communication. It looks into how people use language on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, analyzing how they balance formality with informality. The study emphasizes how online interactions influence and mirror more general socio-linguistic norms, drawing on discourse analysis and pragmatic theory.
