A viral linguist’s account of the ways our vocabularies are evolving, the internet’s influence on communication, and what our use of language reveals about the modern world
From the rise of leetspeak and words such as “skibidi” to the trend of adding “-core” to different influencer aesthetics, the internet has ushered in an unprecedented linguistic upheaval. We’re entering an entirely new era of etymology, heralded by the invisible forces driving social media algorithms. Thankfully, 
Algospeak
 
is here to explain. As a professional linguist, Adam Aleksic understands the gravity of language and the way we use it: he knows the ways it has morphed and changed, how it reflects society, and how, in its everyday usage, we carry centuries of human history on our tongues. As a social media influencer, Aleksic is also intimately familiar with the internet’s reach and how social media impacts the way we engage with one another. New slang emerges and goes viral overnight. Accents are shaped or erased on YouTube. Grammatical rules, loopholes, and patterns surface and transform language as we know it. Our interactions—and our social norms and habits—shift into something completely different.
As Aleksic uses original surveys, data, and internet archival research to usher us through this new linguistic landscape, he also illuminates how communication is changing in both familiar and unprecedented ways. From our use of emojis to sentence structure to the ways younger generations talk about sex and death (see unalive in English and desvivirse in Spanish), we are in a brand-new world, one shaped by algorithms and technology. Algospeak is an energetic, astonishing journey into language, the internet, and what this intersection means for all of us.
Adam Aleksic
 
is a linguist and content creator posting educational videos as the “Etymology Nerd” to an audience of more than two million. As a linguistics student at Harvard College, he founded and served as president of the Harvard Undergraduate Linguistics Society. He’s discussed online language on NPR
 
and repeatedly contributed to 
The Washington Post
, and his work has been mentioned in 
The New York Times, The Economist,
 and 
The Guardian
. He’s lectured on language and social media at Stanford, Yale, Georgetown, and other top universities, including a 
TEDx 
talk at the University of Pennsylvania. Aleksic is based in New York City, where he spends a lot of time scrolling TikTok for “research.”

- 藝術裝飾風格：帝國大廈採用了典型的裝飾藝術風格，強調對稱性、幾何形狀以及精美的裝飾，頂部尖塔設計獨特，使其在紐約的天際線中顯得格外堅挺和獨特。 ​- 結構設計精妙：建築的骨幹由210根鋼柱構成，其中12根直達建築頂部，為大廈提供了堅實的支撐。隨着高度增加，樓層面積逐漸縮小，形成五個主要變化，這種設計既考慮了結構穩定性，又增加了建築的美觀性。 歷史文化價值 - 見證歷史變遷：帝國大廈興建於20世紀30年代經濟大蕭條時期，它的建成不僅為當時的美國提供了大量就業機會，也標志著美國工業的崛起和現代城市發展的巔峰起步。​- 承載文化象徵：作為美國的文化象徵之一，帝國大廈出現在眾多電影、文學、藝術作品中，如電影《金剛》，進一步提升了其在全球的知名度和文化影響力。

中央公園

遊賞秋景好去處

蓝星旅行者

漫步於紐約中央公園，彷彿跌入鋼鐵森林的溫柔裂隙。晨光穿透林梢，在櫻花大道鋪開粉白碎錦，風過時花瓣簌簌落肩，摩天樓的稜角在花影里柔化成朦朧背景音&nbsp;。長椅上的城市密碼最是動人。指尖撫過冰涼的椅背，銘牌上簡短的文字藏着紐約客的體溫：&quot;給我的妻子卡羅爾，因為她愛中央公園，而我愛她&quot;&mdash;&mdash;生離死別、年少相逢、母與子的羈絆，都在木紋里凝結成露&nbsp;。當高中生攤開書本笑鬧在綿羊草坪上，當莎士比亞詩篇的朗誦聲從櫻桃山飄向湖面，這座公園便成了情感的共鳴箱，盛滿超越語言的人間敘事&nbsp;。午後在The Ramble森林區閉目，鳥鳴與溪水聲織成天然白噪音，忽然懂得奧姆斯特德的深意：這340萬平方米的綠肺，原是獻給&quot;疲憊產業工人的手工藝品&quot;，讓無力遠行的人們在此啜飲自然&nbsp;。黃昏的船屋碼頭最是魔幻，木槳划碎晚霞染紅的湖面，野鴨從曼哈頓倒影中游過，都市的喧囂在此沉入水底，只余槳聲燈影里的呼吸&nbsp;。「當長椅鐫刻的私語與櫻花雨一同落進掌心，方知這混凝土荒原里的綠洲，原是紐約寫給世界的散文詩。」&nbsp;
