Abstract


This study sheds light on the intricate ways technology is reshaping the landscape of metaphorical language in contemporary writing. It delves into the burgeoning trend of aesthetics heavily influenced by technology.

Furthermore, the study goes beyond imagery, comprehensively examining the influence of technology on characterization and plot structure within contemporary novels. It acknowledges the emergence of characters and narrative elements that are fundamentally driven by technology, exploring how these innovations are shaping the way stories are told and experienced by readers. Ultimately, the study highlights the transformative potential of technology. It recognizes how technology can enrich and expand the metaphorical repertoire available to contemporary writers. However, it also acknowledges the challenges that technology presents in terms of maintaining the nuance and authenticity of language, as well as the potential for the erosion of traditional linguistic values.
