Abstract
Meaning and use is one of the most notable accounts of Ludwig Wittgenstein in his Philosophy of language. This idea paves a way to consider the form of life in determining and understanding the meaning of a words or language. In ordinary use of language, the meaning of a word is to be understood by knowing its use (see Hartnack 1962, 69). Thus, the meaning of a word is its use in the language-game. Social Media has become indispensable in quotidian existence of every individual in 21st century particular for the post-millennial generation. This occurrence generated to the fact that social media has become the form of life of them. A form of life that yielded new meaning to some words due the agreement of the linguistic community within the language-game. This work is dedicated to explain the misunderstanding occurrences between the past generation and post-millennial generation especially when using words in social media and their attitudes. Likewise, this paper will explicate the meaning-use phenomenon on language in the social media platforms that everyone is conventionally encountering at.
