World Affairs: The Journal of International IssuesSummary: Lately, Internet memes have gone beyond just being funny pictures or phrases. They have become a real way for people to communicate, shaping how they talk both online and in person. Shahbaz Khan takes a look at how meme language might be turning into a dialect by checking out its structure, social effects, and real-life use. By looking at over 50 popular memes from sites like Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit, the article spots the repeating patterns, grammar, and changes in meaning that memes bring. Meme language serves more as a speech style for certain groups rather than a full dialect. This study reflects on how digital communication interacts with language development, shedding light on how Internet culture may influence language changes over time. – Reproduced
