Özet

Abstract We are in a period where communication provides interaction on a global scale and change is experienced instantaneously. The most important effect of digitalization has changed the rigid and established forms of tradition again. The ontological concept of time has left its place to the concept of "timeless time", as Castells puts it, and the perception of settled-concrete space has left its place to the understanding of "cyber-space". This situation has reflected on the language, identity and thus the cultural structure of the society. The phenomenon of digitalization, which is rapidly increasing all over the world, has begun to directly affect the essence of societies today. Today, when the number of electronic devices surpasses the world population, people who can access digital technology monitor their sleep performance with smart wristbands, the amount of calories they need to take with smart forks, and the trends of the world with smart phones. In such a digital environment, the language people use naturally becomes a part of the 'digitalization' process. Today's information and digital age is the situation of transforming information into information and information into information and digital language. In this process, which provides and accelerates the transformation of information, the individual has to adapt to the digital language. In this context, the concepts of digital language, digital society and digital transformation in the digital information age will be discussed and how human beings change and transform will be examined. This study will be based on a literature review on how people's perception of timespace-identity and language in digitalized societies and how they change and transform on the axis of digitalization. In the study, it is emphasized that proficiency and literacy processes in digital language are important with digital transformation. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of digitalization will be explained by the digitalization of digital language and identity. 58 Keywords: Digitalization, Time, Communication, Digital Language, Digital Identity.
