Twitter is getting into Iranian life with an accelerating speed. Its Persian members are growing and youths are using it more and more as a platform of socialization and communication. Recently, changes in this young generation language have been addressed in the form of vulgarism and sexual words. It is easily noticeable even in public places and spheres. Twitter as a public sphere has been monitored by this research in order to see if this linguistic change is objective and real. Is there any identity movement behind this sudden change of language usage between Iranians. What properties does this change have? In order to do so, we applied a socio-linguistic approach within an anthropological aspect to assess such an incident. With a qualitative method of content analysis, we analyzed the numerical distributions and quantity of These sexual insults in Twitter of which Persian Language users have posted. This research orients around a possible hypothesis of the emergence of new identities among Iranians with anti-language, anti-discourse or anti-ideology as indicator signs.
