Contemporary linguistics and literary studies are experiencing transformative changes under the influence of globalization, technological progress, and interdisciplinary research. The study of language now encompasses not only structural and theoretical aspects but also sociocultural, cognitive, and digital dimensions. Similarly, literary studies have expanded beyond traditional texts to include digital narratives, multimedia works, and social media discourse. This paper investigates current issues in modern linguistics and literary studies, including multilingualism, endangered language preservation, stylistic innovation, and the role of technology in shaping literary production and reception. It emphasizes the interplay between classical theoretical approaches and modern methodologies, highlighting the evolving nature of human communication and expression in the 21st century.
