Abstract

This journal presents a comprehensive analysis of the word formation process used in popular pop culture icon Selena Gomez's Instagram captions. This research aims to investigate the linguistics of Gomez's social media language and outline the mechanisms underlying word formation and transformation in the context of informal online communication. This study combines linguistic methods such as morphological analysis to investigate how Gomez adapts and innovates language to convey meaning, emotion, and personal style in her texts. The results highlight the dynamics of language development in digital spaces and provide insight into the role of celebrities in shaping contemporary language trends. Furthermore, this research contributes to a broader understanding of sociolinguistic phenomena in the social media era, highlighting the intersection between celebrity culture, linguistic creativity, and online communication.
