Abstract: CAÑARES, ANDREA C., CLARION, MAXIMIANO II C., DIAZ, JULIUS NHELSON C., LIM, KIM ANDRIE P., VALENTE, MYLA MAY C., Language Use Between Generations: Informal Lexical Differences in Online Conversations Among Generation X And Generation Z Facebook Netizens In The College Of Arts And Sciences In Cavite State University, Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Arts in English Language Studies. Cavite State University Indang, Cavite. May 2022. Adviser: Daniele Clarise Noga Analyzing lexical variation enables understanding how one generation or person utilizes language compared to another. This research examined the different patterns of informal lexicon present in online conversations, the similarities and differences between Gen X and Gen Z's lexicon, and how age affects their vocabulary. The researchers used a mixed-method research design employing both qualitative and quantitative methods, with content analysis as the research tool to analyze the data. The data were obtained from public Facebook posts and comments of the College of Arts and Science at Cavite State University from members of Generation X (1965- 1980) and Generation Z. (1997-2012). Purposive sampling was used to select individuals from two generations for the study. The researchers compared posts and comments from the two generations to identify the different informal lexicons used. The findings revealed that there was a prevalence of informal lexicons in online conversations for both Gen X and Gen Z. It has been discovered that youngsters prefer slang-like words and other sub-standard forms of language, this is reflected in the results wherein Generation Z used misspellings in their Facebook posts and comments. On the other hand, adults seemed to prefer a conventional form of words, which was visible in Generation X being unconcerned about typos in their posts and comments. Furthermore, the data suggest that their misspellings were not done on purpose, but rather were used to make long phrases easier to type
