From Beliefs to Selfitis: Emerging Linguistic Patterns in the Digital Era

Description

Language plays a crucial role in shaping cognitive structures and social interactions. This paper explores the semantic and lexical connections between “beliefs” and “validations” while examining the rise of digital-age linguistic anomalies such as selfitis. The intersection of these terms demonstrates how the need for validation reinforces beliefs and leads to emerging linguistic patterns in the digital era, particularly in relation to social media and screen time. A binary classification model of linguistic terms is introduced to systematically categorize such evolving concepts.
