Abstract
This article explores the unique linguistic features that characterize internet texting in the Uzbek and English language. As digital communication continues to evolve, so too does the way Uzbek and English speakers interact online. This study explores various elements, including the use of capitalization, punctuation, emojis , emoticons, etc. and the impact of social media on language. By examining informal syntax, visual elements like emojis, and the role of gender in communication, we uncover how the internet is shaping modern Uzbek and English discourse. Moreover, the article addresses the tension between language preservation and change, highlighting the importance of understanding these dynamics in the context of a rapidly digitalizing world.
