The widespread use of social networks has significantly influenced the psychological development and well-being of adolescents. This paper examines the key psychological characteristics of this impact, including both positive and negative effects. Social networks serve as platforms for identity exploration, peer interaction, and self-expression, offering opportunities for personal growth and social connection. However, they also expose adolescents to risks such as cyberbullying, social comparison, and excessive screen time, which can contribute to anxiety, depression, and diminished self-esteem. The phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and the constant need for validation further intensify the emotional and psychological challenges faced by adolescents. Additionally, the interplay between social media addiction and its effects on attention span and emotional regulation is analyzed. By understanding these dynamics, this study aims to highlight the importance of fostering healthy digital habits and promoting resilience among adolescents in the context of social media use.

This article examines how metaphorical polysemy—where a single metaphorical expression carries multiple interpretations—can serve as a catalyst for humor in multilingual and cross-cultural settings. Drawing upon theories of incongruity, benign violation, and language interference, the study illustrates how speakers and listeners negotiate overlapping meanings. Through qualitative analyses of everyday conversations, media texts, and focus group discussions, the paper demonstrates how the literal and figurative dimensions of polysemous expressions elicit laughter, confusion, or both. The multilingual context intensifies these effects, as differences in linguistic codes and cultural norms can lead to creative yet unintentional juxtapositions. The findings underscore the importance of embracing these moments of linguistic play in educational environments, translations, and broader communicative practice. The article ultimately highlights the pedagogical value in recognizing metaphorical polysemy not only as a linguistic phenomenon but also as a potent source of engagement and cultural insight.

This study explores the phenomenon of alliteration of phonemes, emphasizing its structural, cognitive, and stylistic roles in language. The research examines the use of repeated initial consonant sounds in poetry, prose, advertising, and spoken discourse, highlighting their effects on rhythm, aesthetic appeal, memory retention, and audience engagement. The study combines literary analysis, phonological description, and insights from cognitive linguistics to demonstrate the enduring relevance of alliteration in both traditional and modern communication. The findings indicate that alliteration enhances emotional expression, stylistic richness, and mnemonic effectiveness, making it a versatile and powerful linguistic tool.

This article explores the phenomenon of stylistic compression in English-language breaking news headlines shared on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. Due to space constraints and the need for immediacy, digital journalism frequently employs concise syntactic structures, ellipsis, noun phrases, and verbless constructions that diverge from standard grammar but enhance urgency and impact. Drawing on a corpus of headlines from major news outlets (e.g., BBC, CNN, The Guardian), this study identifies key linguistic strategies of compression and examines their stylistic and communicative effects. The analysis, grounded in stylistic theory and discourse analysis, reveals that such compressed forms contribute to the rapid transmission of emotionally charged, ideologically positioned, and easily shareable news. The findings underscore the intersection of linguistic economy and media immediacy in shaping modern news discourse.

In the past decade, research investigating bilingual effects on cognitive and linguistic development has increased significantly. Bilingualism is a field of continuous growth that covers a broad range of mental and linguistic achievements. Through most of the 20th century, bilingualism was assumed to threaten normal language development and impair cognitive achievement.

This article explores the complex phenomenon of translating humor, irony, and wordplay, which are considered among the most challenging aspects of translation. These elements are deeply rooted in linguistic structures, cultural knowledge, and pragmatic context. The paper examines major theoretical approaches in translation studies, discusses linguistic and cultural constraints, and analyzes strategies used by translators to preserve humorous and ironic effects in the target language.
