In the contemporary digital landscape, social media has emerged as a fundamental component of communication, significantly impacting the ways in which individuals express themselves and engage with one another. Social media such as Vkontakte, X (formely Twitter), TikTok, Telegram and others serve not merely as venues for content sharing but as dynamic environments in which language undergoes rapid evolution. This study investigates the emergence of new terminology and slang, analyzes their cultural significance, and discusses the ways in which social media influences our vocabulary.

This paper explores how false information propagates rapidly across Russian-language social media platforms such as VKontakte and Telegram. Through linguistic and content-based analysis of seven verified disinformation cases from 2023–2024, the study identifies recurring rhetorical tactics: emotionally charged language, fabricated expert endorsements, and pseudo-scientific assertions. Findings indicate that emotionally intense posts under 150 words generate 2.7 times more user engagement than neutral, fact-based messages. Platform algorithms further amplify this effect by boosting content that features visual emphasis (e.g., capital letters, emojis, hashtags) and polarizing phrasing. The research concludes that misinformation proliferates not due to user gullibility, but because digital ecosystems systematically prioritize shareability over accuracy. A prototype detection framework based on linguistic red flags is proposed for future implementation. This contribution advances media literacy research in non-Western digital environments.

. Social media and the Internet play a huge role in the lives of modern teenagers. They influence communication, personality formation, values and worldview, and cognitive skills. Yakutia, as a region with a unique culture and geography, may have its own peculiarities in the use of social networks and communication preferences. The project can help identify the negative aspects of the impact of social media.

Informal contact with language via short-form video platforms such as TikTok has created a new environment for linguistic input, but the acquisition of incidental vocabulary through social media is understudied. The article explores incidental vocabulary acquisition in EFL students who consume this type of content. The authors investigate retained lexical items, facilitating factors, and learning limitations based on a survey of 20 participants. Results show that algorithmic repetition, emotional salience, and dual-coding input all have a significant effect on remembering vocabulary. However, the complete absence of acquired grammatical structures among respondents highlights the fundamentally unstructured nature of this type of input. The research concludes that short-form videos are effective as an addition to active vocabulary development but are not that useful as a substitute for explicit instruction.
