Aims and Scope
The aim of Language, Technology, and Social Media is to provide a platform for scholarly research that explores the dynamic intersections between language, linguistics, communication, and media. The journal is dedicated to publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed empirical studies and theoretical discussions that contribute to a deeper understanding of how language functions in various media and technological environments. It examines the impact of emerging media technologies on language use, identity, and communication, including the influence of social media and digital platforms on linguistic development, multilingualism, and the use of digital dialects. In addition, the journal delves into the role of speech and hearing technologies in enhancing linguistic accessibility, improving language processing, and advancing speech therapy, with a focus on the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in these domains.
