Abstract

The study of language is fundamental to understanding human communication and the structure of thought. Despite existing research, there are significant gaps in knowledge that require new investigative pathways. This study seeks to explore these pathways through a qualitative approach, utilizing grounded theory and document analysis to identify current trends. The methodological design was based on grounded theory to develop theories from empirical data, as well as the application of document analysis as the primary source of data; consequently, open coding and axial coding were used to identify and connect emerging concepts. The result of the mixed analysis highlighted the emergence of innovative trends that integrate interdisciplinary approaches and cultural and technological perspectives. A more holistic framework is also proposed, which considers not only linguistic structures but also their interaction with social and technological factors. This study concludes that it is necessary to expand the boundaries of language studies through new investigative pathways that are being recently implemented, guiding future research in order to achieve a more integrated and multifaceted understanding of language. Future perspectives suggest the incorporation of innovative methods and interdisciplinary approaches to ensure the evolution of the field in response to contemporary challenges.
