المستخلص: Human communication has significantly changed from cave paintings in the Upper Palaeolithic age, to using symbols, then papyrus, texts, to cyberspace language and lately emojis. Net speak has become the norm with a significant number of people refraining from using Standard language. That significant change, especially in this digital era, has led to wide speculation that there could be creation of a new language or devaluation of the existing one. This article seeks to determine whether the digital age is taking the standard form of language back to its early beginnings. A qualitative study design was used for addressing the research questions. More importantly, this article is based on an action exploratory research study. A questionnaire was used as the major tool for data collection. 200 teenagers from 10 schools in the North of Lebanon were the focus of this study. Findings demonstrated that there are significant similarities s between the current and old traditional s ways of composing language, thus implying that pictures, symbols and emojis are taking s the upcoming generation back to the old age when images were predominantly t used. The second finding was that the use of digital images by Generation Z may , not have resulted in the development of a new language, but there is likelihood that this could be the scenario in future. Consequently, the increased use of digital forms of communication only signals a significant evolution of systems of visual language. There is need for future research s to comprehensively understand how various forms of digital communication can be used universally and across all i generations as a visual language.
