ABSTRACT: This
theoretical article aims to discuss the language used in social networks as an
instrument of creativity and self-expression. Internet has permitted an
increase in interpersonal relations, as never before, increasing communication
mediated by computer technologies. As a result, computers and mobile media have
occupied a large place in people’s daily lives causing changes in habits, and by
the way users’ interact. Images, sounds and videos are some of the resources
that enrich the linguistic code, forming the basis of an interaction that
enables the exchange of ideas, mainly demands of esteem, acceptance and
affection.
