I. Introduction
Looking at the millennial generation with a curious pair of eyes remains
today. Perhaps it is with the millennial’s different outlook on their goals,
careers,relationships, advocacies, and even notion towards building their
own families which continue to intrigue those from the other generations.
However, there has been scarce literature resources to detail how truly
different such new generation is; this makes it more challenging for others
to have a clearer understanding of what millennials are like.

Many have tried to describe who the millennials are and how different
they are from the previous generations. However, there is still an existing
gap on understanding the new preferences of such generation. This likewise
applies to understanding the Filipino millennials. So who are the
millennials? The millennial generation is identified as a diverse generation
that involves a group of individuals born from 1980 to 2000 (Rainer
andRainer, 2011). “MILLENIAL/S”, as simply defined in the Merriam
Webster dictionary refers to a person or group of people who was/were born
in the 1980’s or1990’s.

Millennials do have contrasting characteristics compared to the previous

generations, given the advancement in technology, the dynamics and rapid
changes in the international community, millennials tend to be more socially
aware in their surrounding and to the community that they belong to.

the perspectives of the students towards the said evolution of Millennial
Language. Moreover, the research will address attention given by the
present generation in this kind of issue more than the old style of
communicating or the formal way.

Purpose of the study

This study aims to distinguish the presence and the spread of this new
language terms and how do it affect the communication process of the

Millennial trend will also benefit. The adults who grew up in a different era
will have advantages in this study to help them comprehend and interpret
the modern trend the youth are into at the same time serving as a basis of
information.

Students may also benefit for they will develop knowledge on how to
lessen the disseminating trends in order for them not to forget the formal
way of communicating.
 Future researchers will benefit as well. The results of this study can
serve as a basis for further study and support in elaborating the changes

III. Literature Review

The researcher review related studies that are significant to this

concept: The Evolution of Language. It might discuss here how Millennial
language is being use in daily communication and the adaptation of others
in this kind of trend.

Millennial Languages

As stated by [ CITATION Mon16 \l 1033 ], Millennial language is a rich

source of new words and phrases which, as fast as they are created by this
generation, are then quickly adopted by the mainstream. Millennial
language is the product of the relationship that the millennial generation
have with the older generations, Generation X and the Baby Boomers – and
also the product of the tech revolution. Millennials, also know as Gen Y,
were born in the 80’s and 90’s and are the generation that are totally at
ease with electronic gadgetry and internet technology and all the concepts
around this 21st Century Technological revolution. The language of
boomers – ‘cat’ for person, ‘psyche’, ‘groovy’ – are missing from millennial
language or – as in ‘groovy’ are used but in a serious way.

The millennial generation are a huge demographic – some 80 million

which is 3 times the size of Generation X, the generation before them. Their
tastes in food, in decor, in travel choices, in language set them apart from
other generations. With their huge numbers, people are listening. They
have become the taste-makers, in language as much as in anything else.
Common text terms such as LOL, WTF, FOMO typify what we
call millennial language. BFF – best friend forever – and DM – direct
message – are also text terms which have slipped into mainstream
language.

How Millennials are changing the English Language?

Transforming of languages often constructed by every youngest

generation. Many people especially the older age would probably say and
think that children nowadays destroying the significance of English
language itself because they are speaking differently. The thing here is they
do not know that the language is not being ruined, it is just changing and it
is because of the innovative minds of the millennials.

They change this language for instance: YOLO for (“ you only live once”),
FOMO (“fear of missing out”), BAE is for (“before anyone else”). You can
see here that they abbreviated phrases into one or two word syllables. Also
they are shortened it such as totes for the word “totally” and perfect
become “perf”.

However, millennials even applying grammar rules to their new creation

that is why you cannot say that they are shattering the said language.

Do You Speak Millenial? A Modern Acronym Guide

According to [ CITATION Bro16 \l 1033 ], Millenial Generation’s

abbreviations are becoming critical to understand. If you are in your 30’s or
above, a lot of you doesn’t know how to speak millenial’s new words or you
have no idea what anyone is saying. Apparently, it’s just too exhausting to
write out full words. One of the biggest ways that Millenials are changing
the English language is by shortening it, according to experts.
Abbreviations and Acronyms tend to be a huge part of modern language. In
no particular order, here’s a guide to help and speak like “millenials”.
The following words below are the most used acronyms of millenials that
will guide you to know what the abbreviations means: LMAO “laughing my
ass off”. ASAP which means for “as soon as possible”. BRB is for “be right
back”. BAE “before anyone else”. LOL is short for “laugh out loud”. OMG is
known for “oh my god/gosh”. NVM “never mind” and WYD for “what you
doing”. These words are very common to use because they are easy to
understand their meanings.

Millennial lingo

According to [ CITATION Cen17 \l 1033 ], here is our attempt to save

you from embarrassment and from feeling jurassic around the young
Millennials in your life. Please note, that these millennial slang
words change, evolve, or go passé fast. So use them around teens with
caution, lest you risk sounding ridiculous.

Here are some common words nowadays: Shookt is a term

Millennials use when information is too overwhelming or shocking. TD is
shorten word for “to die” or “to die for.” It is used especially when you think
something is too awesome or amazing it’s to die for. “I Kennat!” is an
expression used when someone gets overwhelmed with too many emotions
he/she doesn’t know how to react or basically saying “I cannot even”. Lit
has been overused this past year and is on its way out but still worth
knowing. It can sometimes mean amazing, normally used to describe an
event. But it could also mean drunk. Fam is a term used to mean your close
group of friends or your “people”. On fleek is used to describe something so
perfect or on point. Saks lang is short for the Filipino term “sakto
lang.” When something isn’t good or bad just “so-so”

40 Ways to Speak with (and Connect with) a Millennial

According to [ CITATION Bob17 \l 1033 ], if you are in your 40s, 50s, or
beyond, you had be forgiven for not knowing what on earth “spilling the
tea,” “clap back,” or “fleek” means. However, if you want to talk to
millennials on their own terms—and to truly decipher what it is they are
saying—it would behoove you to learn.

“Netflix and chill” is the more polite way of saying “Let’s turn on this
movie we have no intention of watching and then fool around on the couch.”
When you want to make it clear to somebody exactly that you are not guilty
about something, you can say “sorry not sorry”. Xennials is another term
for an older millennials got tired of being called millennials, so they
invented a new name for themselves.

Millennials have a naughty way of thinking that is why they discover or

even produce new or different words. They are also reputed to used many
shorthand terms such as “Goals AF” for whatever things you like to achieve
or possess in life, “Cancel” is a less abrasive way of saying “ NO”, “Lit”
means awesome things are happening and “Slay” simply means being
able to do exemplary job.

Those are some of the phrases and words created by millennials that
gave a great impact towards the speaking style of many people now a days.

Taglish in Metro Manila: An Analysis of Tagalog-English Code-

Switching

Here in Metro Manila, Philippines, people are widely using the linguistic
phenomenon that is called the code-switching were as the English language
is combined with Tagalog. They often used this everyday in their typical
conversation.

According to [ CITATION Jos17 \l 1033 ], Taglish has been described as a

very widespread predominantly spoken “mixed” language variety, whose
phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics have been greatly influenced
by English and Tagalog.
 The mass media is intended to reach a mass audience that is why this
also gave a great impact on how this phenomenon spread all over the
country. It is now known in different areas as far as Tacloban, Leyte in
Waray and Cebuano - speaking Eastern Visayas.

Here’s A Quick Guide To Those New Millennial Terms You’re Hearing

From The Young’uns

According to[ CITATION Del17 \l 1033 ], if you find yourself surrounded

with younger people, then you have probably heard them say a few words
that you just cannot seem to understand. If you are one of the cool kids in
the 80’s to 90’s then you will find that the language of today’s young people
is not that different from what you spoke in the glory days.

You can say that the slang of the previous decades is making a comeback
with just a few updates for instance: “Petmalu” means “malupit” or
amazing/super cool., the good old “bro” is now “orb”, “Lodi” means “idol” or
someone to look up to, “Werpa” which means “power” and it is usually used
when someone is giving a support snd lastly the inverted word “Matsala”
means “salamat” which a regular old “thank you” but much cooler than
before.

Millennials are using and exercising new words that they formed. It is
sometimes just a recreation for them to show creativity but today this
became a trend and showing countless of effect not only in the millennial
people itself but also to the older and succeeding generation of the country.

Filipino Colloquial Words: How Lodis Gave Werpa to Ordinary Talk

As stated by [ CITATION Lar17 \l 1033 ], Today’s Filipino social media
is teeming with these words. Millennials, our ‘tatis and totis’, and even
the ‘damatans’ are familiar with this trend. But what, exactly, do these mean
and why are they so popular these days? How can we
be lodis with werpas to become petmalu?
 “Lodi” is the reversed form of “Idol”. It is used to address celebrities
or a familiar person who did something impressive. “Petmalu” is the
reversed form of “Malupet”, which in Filipino slang means amazing,
incredible, or simply cool. Based from how PowerPoint was changed
to WerpaPoint, “Werpa” is the reverse of “Pawer”, which is how some
Filipinos pronounce “Power”, It is used to give support to someone. While
these three are the top frequently used reverse words nowadays, some
other notable slang terms are ‘Orb’ for ‘Bro’, ‘Rapsa’ for ‘Sarap’ or
delicious, and ‘Matsala’ for‘Salamat’ or thanks. It all started within the
Facebook group called What’s Your Ulam, Pare (WYUP). As their description
states, they are a group focused on daily food experiences. Members mainly
post photos of their food-for-the-day which ranges from picturesque
gourmet dishes to plainly silly ones snapped for comedic purposes. They
started seven months ago, but only gained much online traction when the
millennial members started to very much appreciate the slang terms used
by the older members. Words like lodi, petmalu, and werpa flooded the
comments sections. And soon enough, the colloquial words began to spread
like wildfire through Filipino social media, like how we see them today.

TRENDING PINOY TERMS: Compilation Of Filipino Colloquial Words

With Definition

According to [ CITATION Jee17 \l 1033 ], the Filipino people indeed

never run out of ideas to think of unique things or terms just to entertain
their fellow. And with the creativity of the Pinoys, some of their ideas have
become a trend.

These pinoy terms became a trend just like a wildfire. However, these
words being spoken of in reverse are not new already. For example is the
national hero Gregorio Del Pilar. Tracing back in the history of the
Philippines, his surname Del Pilar was put in reverse as his pen name
“Plaridel”. This style is accordingly called “Baliktad Tagalog” has started
during the ’70s until the ’90s and it was the culture of the “Hippie” who first
introduced it.

Other words being spoken in reverse which became famous and was
used until today are Bogchi Hokbu or Chibog Buhok of the
Eraserheads, Nosi Balasi or Sino Ba Sila of Sampaguita, and the song Laki
sa Layaw of Mike Hanopol featuring Jeprox or Projects. And these trends do
not include on things that people should worry about for this is only an
indication that the Pinoy language is still alive and widely used by its people
despite the influence of other foreign countries to us.

Social media speak: The 60 new abbreviations that are dominating

the way young people communicate with one another

As stated by (Mills and Cheer, 2014), the emerging list of new-age

abbreviations have begun to use by the millenials the way they
communicate in social medias. Using of abbreviations is to help for speed in
text communication which other older people don’t quite understand. LOL
was used 1,242,935 times which it was a top rank according to Australians
who monitored trending terms.

“The use of abbreviations should not be considered in isolation, rather

as a set of activities that enhance efficiencies but importantly satisfy our
need for a greater range of self expression,” Mr. Ward said. And despite of
growing list of abbreviations, Mr. Ward also said that people use the entire
words with hashtags so people can find the trendings easily.

The 2017 Millennial Glossary: Which words to keep, which words to

trash
 As stated by [ CITATION Cel17 \l 1033 ], The quicker we get to say what
we want with our thumbs before the next person in the group chat changes
the conversation, the better. Celera presented the Scout’s glossary of
millennial terms, divided by which millennial words should go and which
should stay.

Words that can stay are the following: Beshie /beSHē/ (noun) means
beshie most likely came from beh, or bes, which probably came from best,
which is short for best friend. Brodie /brōdē/ (noun) means bro, dude, man.
Ednis /ednis/ (verb) means the word “sinde” inverted, and also has the
same meaning: to burn, in most contexts mostly marijuana. Inverting words
always has been the Filipino trend in coming up with new slang, and even
though some are overused. FR (adverb) is short for “for real.”
Receipts /rə’sēts/ (noun) means anything that can serve as evidence for
drama (pictures, screen caps, texts, etc.). “I got receipts” sounds very
badass. “I have the evidence” doesn’t. Wyd (expression) is a shorthand for
“What are you doing?” It’s easy to type, you know what it means.
Yasss /yasss/ (interjection) is a humorous, sassy way of saying yes and many
more.

On the other side, the words to retire are Dab /dab/ (verb) A dance move
borne out of the Atlanta trap scene. 2. A potent form of marijuana.
Daddy /’dadē/ (noun) is a slang term from the sex-positive community for an
older man. Completely different from a “sugar daddy.”
Dope /dōp/ (adjective) is something awesome, sometimes a word for
marijuana. Hokage /hokage/ (noun) “ninja/Hokage moves” should die, not
just go into retirement. Hype /hīp/ (noun) is something to be excited about,
something to look forward to. LIT AF /litaf/ (adjective) means it’s crazy in a
good way. Savage /’savij/ (noun/adjective) is someone who has a lack of
restraint, to the point of violence and this was funny when we were being
ironic. Swag /swag/ (noun) is a state of being in line with fashionably
impressive values, without exerting any effort. Thot /THôt/ (noun) is the
acronym for That Hoe Over There or Thirsty Hoe Over There. Mostly used
by men to describe women who are sexually promiscuous.

This glossary would probably help us to determine which words we used

everyday as a millennial is important and what words are insignificant
because it might affect the communication of one another.

SYNTHESIS

Evolution of Language is the change in human language. It started when

humans over the past years learned how to communicate using vocalization,
hand gestures and body languages. Ancient people did not know how to use
a language at first. They use hand gestures or body languages to
communicate with each other. As the time went by, they started to learn
how to make a language so that they can fully understand one another.
Language also came as an Evolutionary adaptation. In today’s living, kids
say what they hear and that is called language adaptation.

When the population increases or the years goes by, there are
possibilities where there is a lot of new words coming again. People
nowadays especially millennials make their own words. The advantages of
using these kind of words is you will fit in today’s society and it is easy for
some people to use these kind of words because it will be easy for them to
understand. The disadvantage of using this kind of language is the elders
cannot fit in because they do not understand the words.

Truly the fast unfurl of the millennial language has paved its way
throughout the country and in the lives of Filipino youth. This trend which
spread mainly through mass media is gaining a lot of popularity wherein
Filipino youth using this kind of language. Many simple appreciation of a
media text may result to repeated and regular consumption. This is the
main subject of the research endeavor.
IV. Research Design and Methods

This chapter covers the research design and methodology, including

population frame and sample, description of respondents, research
instruments and data gathering procedures.

The purpose of the study is to examine how Millennial Language truly

covers the communicating style of the RTU Senior High School Students. To
fulfill this purpose, a qualitative research method was used and the
researchers made a survey questionnaire in a form of closed-ended
questions. The goal of this qualitative research is to get the data of their
understanding towards the study and their experience on the said evolution
of language.

Population Frame and Sample

The SHS students from RTU will be the participants in gathering of data.
The researchers will use cluster sampling method.

Description of Respondents

strands which are the Accountancy, Business and Management Strand
(ABM) , Humanities and Social Sciences Strand (HUMSS), Technical-
Vocational-Livelihood (TVL), and Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics Strand (STEM).
Research Instruments
In order to know and analyze the difference opinions, views, and
perceptions of the RTU Senior High School Students on how the Millennial
Language affect their way of communicating, the researcher conducted a
survey among the different respondents which is randomly choose ten (10)
students from four (4) strands which are the Accountancy, Business and
Management Strand (ABM) , Humanities and Social Sciences Strand
(HUMSS), Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL), and Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics Strand (STEM). The Researcher-made
interview questionnaire in a form of closed-ended questions presented the
main question focusing on understanding and experience of The RTU Senior
High School students in the evolution of language. Responses where
amassed from questionnaires.

Data-Gathering Procedures
Questionnaire and survey in the form of closed-ended questions is the
principal instrument used in gathering data in the views of the respondents.
This has two parts; the Part 1 is about the profile of the respondents, which
includes their name (optional),age, gender, strand and section. Part II is the
closed-ended questions that is about their knowledge and understanding in
Millennial Language and it’s terms, how long and where do they used this
trends, and if this affects their life today and the people that surrounds
them. After preparing the researchers will distribute the provided
questionnaires to the respondents to have them answered. After that, they
will analyze the responds of the Senior High School students through the
answered questionnaires.

V. Preliminary Suppositions and Implications

The purpose of this study is the researchers believes and assumes the
topic that conducted is true. The millennial language is really evolving and
changing because of the teenagers making new words and adapting it from
other teenagers too which that makes language evolve through times. This
study will also be very helpful to people in the future to understand the
difference and compare the language before millennials and the language
today. The study can help Filipino people especially adults who do not
understand the new terms that the millennial trend will also benefit. The
adults who grew up in a different era will have advantages in this study to
help them comprehend and interpret the modern trend the youth are into at
the same time serving as a basis of information.

The importance of this research can also help students in academic

purposes, developing knowledge, and to inform every people on how to
control and use the new language in a right way through communication.

This would also help the other researchers to have a better

understanding about the results of this study and can serve as a basis and
support in elaborating the changes that need to introduce in the Millennial
Language.

VI. Conclusions

In the final analysis, the researchers conducted this research to know

how the evolution of language truly affects and changes the way millenials
communicate to each other. Therefore, this research study will help
millennials in order to have more ideas, knowledge and deeply understand
about this topic because people do not pay so much attention for this kind of
topic which it will be a big help for most individuals and this deserves to be
talk about a lot. The researchers made a survey to gather datas or
informations from RTU Senior High School students of different strands
which is the ABM (Accountancy and Business Management), STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), TVL (Technical,
Vocational, Livelihood) and lastly, HUMSS ( Humanities and Social
Sciences) to answer questionnaires that focuses about the Millennial
Language. This study is not only for the millennials but also for older
generations too to be updated or inform accordingly how the new language
is so much different from the language before than the language today that
are used in the daily basis. The researchers learned that languages changed
over the years. Indeed, the communicative approach is now the most used
one and the digital evolution enable language learning to be possible
anywhere and at any time. The researchers therefore concluded that this
study aimed to investigate the research about the evolution of language that
focused in millennials and it shows that this generation brought a big
impact of changes when it comes to language that truly exist nowadays. The
researchers analyzed the data that gathered and the researchers found out
that it influenced the communicating style and even older generation are
