The impact of modern text message compression on communication efficiency

the introduction justifies the relevance of the problem: in the digital age, there is a growing popularity of short text messages where elements of information compression, such as the use of abbreviations, emojis, and emoticons, can have both positive and negative effects on the interaction process between interlocutors. The study aims to analyze the influence of different methods of text compression on the accuracy of information transmission, the speed of message processing, and the level of mutual understanding between communication participants. The Methods section describes the experimental design and research methods. Laboratory experiments were conducted in which subjects were asked to decode messages composed at different levels of compression, as well as to evaluate the emotional tone and semantic load of the presented information. The study employed content analysis, quantitative modeling, and statistical data processing using modern software tools. The primary focus was on comparing the communication efficiency between groups receiving the original extended messages and their compressed counterparts. The Results section presents data indicating that text compression facilitates faster information transmission but is accompanied by a reduction in the accuracy of its interpretation. The obtained statistical indicators demonstrate that the optimal balance between the degree of compression and the preservation of the semantic content is achieved when using a moderate level of compression, at which the informational value is maintained while the speed of communication increases. Additionally, it was found that excessive compression leads to misunderstanding and the emergence of ambiguous interpretations. The Discussion section analyzes the practical implications of the results for modern communication platforms. It considers issues related to language adaptation in the digital era and offers recommendations for optimizing text messages to improve communication efficiency. The study concludes that text compression, when applied judiciously, can serve as an effective tool for accelerating communication, though it requires a balance between saving time and preserving the completeness of information. This research contributes to the development of modern digital communication theory and identifies directions for future empirical studies in this area.
