Abstract
Since ancient times, humans have sought different approaches in all aspects of life to derive the most effective and accepted methods. Language, as a powerful social phenomenon and means of communication, has played a tremendous role in people's daily lives. Certainly, language possesses various styles of expression, and humans have long attempted to present the most beautiful linguistic styles in their expressions. Behind each of these different language styles are several social variables (such as age, gender, occupation, social status, etc.) that influence the type of linguistic style. Age is one of the strongest factors in creating different language styles. Human age consists of several distinct stages, each with its own unique vocabulary and linguistic expressions. These differences have resulted in the production of various linguistic styles.
