Abstract
This study addresses the phenomenon of syntactic deconstruction in informal Arabic writing, a linguistic feature that has emerged due to the shift from formal discourse to fast-paced interactive forms, particularly on social media platforms. The study focuses on three main axes: the emergence of new syntactic patterns, the weakening of grammatical competence, and the effects of syntactic deconstruction on media discourse.
Using a descriptive-analytical method, the study documents grammatical patterns drawn from real-life digital texts, considering the cultural and educational background of Arabic speakers. The findings suggest that, despite its drawbacks, this deconstruction reflects transformations in the function of language and calls for new pedagogical approaches attuned to contemporary communication.
