Abstract

This article examines the linguistic behavior of Kazakh-speaking youth on the social media platform Threads from psycholinguistic and pragmatic perspectives. The main aim of the study is to identify the linguistic means used to express emotions, evaluations, and communicative intentions in online discourse. The research material consists of publicly available comments posted by users aged 20 to 35. Representative samples were selected for qualitative analysis. The psycholinguistic approach focuses on manifestations of inner speech, emotional expressiveness, and cognitive mechanisms, while the pragmatic analysis explores communicative strategies, audience orientation, and the purposes of the messages. The findings reveal the frequent use of emotionally evaluative vocabulary, code-switching, graphic markers, emojis, and non-standard language forms. These features demonstrate a direct reflection of internal thinking processes, social positioning, and emotional states in linguistic expression. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of youth communication in digital environments and expands the theoretical framework of psycholinguistic and pragmatic research. The results may also be useful for educators, linguists, and psychologists studying online discourse and youth language practices.
