Abstract
The linguistic diversity of Reddit posts is investigated in this study during three different periods: 2009, 2016, and 2023. Reddit posts in the News, Sports, and Stories categories were chosen to provide a comprehensive overview of communications on Reddit. 4500 posts were analysed using the Multidimensional Analysis Tagger for linguistic analysis. Statistical analyses, including analysis of variance and post-hoc Tukey tests, reveal significant trends and variations, showing a shift towards more informational discourse while maintaining core narrative features.
