Abstract (English): The present study aimed to determine the relationship between the use of social networks and sociolinguistic language practices in ninthgrade students of the "Calasancio Victoria Valverde Private Educational Unit" in the academic year 2025-2026. The research was developed under a quantitative approach, of basic type, with correlational scope and nonexperimental cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 24 students, selected by a non-probabilistic sampling. The technique used was the survey and the instrument a structured questionnaire with scale type Likert, whose reliability reached an alpha of Cronbach of 0.791 and 0.727. For the data analysis, the Spearman correlation coefficient was used, obtaining a strong and statistically significant positive correlation between social media use and sociolinguistic language practices (ρ = .718; p < .001). In addition, the results showed significant relationships between the use of social networks and specific dimensions such as graphophonemic, lexical-semantic, and multimodal practices, reflected in the frequent use of abbreviations, neologisms, extranyms, emojis and other resources specific to digital communication today. Consequently, the general hypothesis of research was accepted and the null hypothesis rejected, concluding that social networks significantly influence students' communicative and sociolinguistic practices within today's digital environments.

Abstract (Spanish): El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre el uso de redes sociales y las prácticas sociolingüísticas del lenguaje en estudiantes de noveno año de la "Unidad Educativa Particular Calasancio Victoria Valverde" el año lectivo 2025-2026. La investigación se desarrolló bajo un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo básica, con alcance correlacional y diseño no experimental de corte transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por 24 estudiantes, seleccionados mediante un muestreo no probabilístico. La técnica utilizada fue la encuesta y el instrumento un cuestionario estructurado con escala tipo Likert, cuya confiabilidad alcanzó un alfa de Cronbach de 0.791 y 0.727. Para el análisis de datos se empleó el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman, obteniéndose una correlación positiva fuerte y estadísticamente significativa entre el uso de redes sociales y las prácticas sociolingüísticas del lenguaje (ρ = .718; p < .001). Además, los resultados evidenciaron relaciones significativas entre el uso de redes sociales y dimensiones específicas como las prácticas grafofonémicas, léxico-semánticas y multimodales, reflejadas en el uso frecuente de abreviaciones, neologismos, extranjerismos, emojis y otros recursos propios de la comunicación digital actual. En consecuencia, se aceptó la hipótesis general de investigación y se rechazó la hipótesis nula, concluyéndose que las redes sociales influyen significativamente en las prácticas comunicativas y sociolingüísticas de los estudiantes dentro de los entornos digitales actuales.
