THE CHALLENGES OF LANGUAGE ECONOMY IN MODERN ENGLISH: BALANCING EFFICIENCY AND CLARITY
Keywords:
xAbstract
Language economy in Modern English, characterized by the drive for brevity and simplification, plays a crucial role in the fast-paced communication of today’s world. While this economy enables efficient transmission of information, it also leads to several linguistic challenges, including increased ambiguity, reduced lexical diversity, and difficulties in maintaining effective intercultural communication. This article examines these challenges, discusses their implications for language users, and suggests strategies to mitigate negative effects while preserving linguistic efficiency.
