Introduction

The Internet, as a special communicative environment and as a previously non-existent sphere of language implementation, has brought with it new methods of communication, stereotypes of speech behavior, and new forms of language existence.

IN Lately The functioning of the Russian language on the global Internet is studied by many linguists. The change in linguistic personality occurs in conjunction with the formation of a virtual picture of the world, including a linguistic one, reflecting life in the Internet space with its specific features. There is a change in values - computer education is valued more than language education, therefore it is considered especially chic to speak in simplified language, contrary to the norms of ordinary communication.

All this significantly affects the language situation and requires serious linguistic research. It is quite possible that we are talking about the formation of a new style in the Russian language - a style of Internet communication, the distinctive features of which are written pronunciation, hyper-intertextuality and imprinted colloquialism. At the same time, a qualitatively new feature of the style is also its spontaneity, despite written reproduction.

The significance of this problem is proven by the fact that in different countries scientists observe and study similar processes occurring in the natural national languages in which Internet users communicate. For example, even in England, where there is no situation of borrowing Internet terminology from a foreign language, scientists have come to the need to isolate and study the new functional style “Weblish” (Web+English), which is vigorously spreading among Internet users, covering ever wider sections of the mass media. audience.

Thus, the above determines the relevance of the topic.

The purpose of my work is to comprehensively characterize the features of the Internet language.

1. Historical aspect

1.1 Appearance of terms

The rapid growth of computer technology since the second half of the 20th century, and, in particular, the massive introduction of personal computers and computer devices, introduced into the Russian language a huge number of special words and expressions, a rich branched terminology. Later, thanks to the start of publication in 1988 of the PC World magazine (at first 100% translated), which became very popular, a “collapse” occurred: English-language terms and abbreviations, often in English spelling, filled the pages of magazines and clogged the speech of specialists. For example - network card, microprocessor, operating system, formatting, installation, hard drive, pixels, dialog box, display and others. Many of these terms are Anglicisms, but there are also words from other European languages. Along with new technology, computer games have also been introduced into the human world, where there are also certain individual designations of things, such as quest, RPG, deathmatch, etc.

1.2 The entry of slang into the language

As in the professional language of computer scientists, there are many English borrowings in the jargon. These are often borrowed from English computer jargon. An example is the words " gamer" - from English jargon gamer, where a gamer is a computer game player or " doomer" - from doomer is a fan of the game Doom.

1.2.1 Slang formation

The ways and means of forming computer slang are very diverse, but they all boil down to adapting the English word to Russian reality and making it suitable for constant use. Here are the main methods of slang formation, which, in my opinion, cover the majority of existing slang vocabulary:

1) complete borrowing (tracing)

2) borrowing the basis

3) Translation

a) using standard vocabulary with a special meaning

b) using others' slang professional groups

Full borrowing

This method of education includes borrowings that are not grammatically mastered by the Russian language. In this case, the word is borrowed entirely with its pronunciation, spelling and meaning. Such borrowings are subject to assimilation. Each sound in a borrowed word is replaced by the corresponding sound in the Russian language in accordance with phonetic laws. These words seem foreign in pronunciation and spelling, they correspond to all the norms of the English language. Here are examples of words completely borrowed from English:

device device

hard drive hard

programmer - programmer (programmer),

user - user (user),

to click - click or click.

Interestingly, there is also the opposite phenomenon here. A jargon synonymous with the term appears, derived from a word that has long been entrenched in the Russian language:

Internet slang Russian language

“windows” is the familiar name for the Microsoft Windows operating system (literally “Windows”),

"small-soft" - an ironic literal translation of the name Microsoft

Most likely, a certain number of such words in the Russian language was a consequence of the fact that most software on computers still runs in English. As a result, people become somewhat accustomed to certain common commands or messages. Here, for example, "disabled person user" ( popular answer to the question of why something doesn't work) is a popular paraphrase of the MS-DOS operating system's "Invalid drive" message.

In addition to “getting used to”, the general tendency among young people to include Anglicisms in their everyday speech also played a role here. The passion for Anglicisms has become a kind of fashion; it is due to the stereotypes and ideals created in youth society. This stereotype of our era is the image of an idealized American society, in which the standard of living is much higher, and high rates of technological progress lead the whole world. And by adding English borrowings to their speech, young people in a certain way approach this stereotype and become familiar with American culture and lifestyle.

It is in this group that the Russian or simply incorrect reading of the English word takes place. Sometimes a mistake becomes so attractive that it takes hold of the masses:

message message.

It is very common to simply transfer a word into Russian with the wrong accent:

label labthl

Therefore, some slang borrowings are unstable in writing. For example, you can find several different borrowings of the word keyboard Tothboard - To th board - Toъboard.

It is noteworthy that words that are stylistically neutral in the English language, having passed into the slang of Russian programmers, acquire an ironic, dismissive or simply colloquial connotation.

Borrowing the basics

When a term moves from English to Russian, the latter adjusts the accepted word to the norms of not only its phonetics as in the previous group, but also spelling and grammar. During grammatical mastery, the English term comes into the possession of Russian grammar, obeying its rules. Nouns, for example, acquire case endings:

application applikuha ( application program)

application ( V.p.)

applikuhi ( R. p.)

Due to the fact that the source language is analytical and the borrowing language is synthetic, inflections are added to verbs:

to connect connect ( connect using computers)

to program program ( do programming)

to click click ( press the mouse keys).

In accordance with the fact that one of the reasons for the need for slang is to shorten long professionalisms, there is such a technique as univerbation (reducing a phrase to one word). Here is an example of such a phenomenon:

strategic game strategy;

motherboard - mother (nurse, motherboard, Mother, uterus);

jet printer - inkjet.

Here, one word is borrowed from a phrase using this method and at the same time it receives the meaning of the entire phrase. Quite a large number of words in this group come from various abbreviations, names of various protocols, and companies.

Bulletin board system BBS bebeska, Bibieska

IBM Ibiemka

Here we cannot help but recall that the MS-DOS operating system, which worked for many years on most personal computers in Russia, allowed files and directories to be given names consisting of no more than eight characters and extensions consisting of only three characters. This led to the fact that the names of many programs and games also had to be shortened or abbreviated if the full names consisted of several words. Derivations from various readings of these abbreviations ended up in Russian slang. Many words appeared in this way, here are some examples:

Norton Utilities NU nushka

Kai's Power Tools KPT capetashka

Execution file EXE executor

Three-dimensional Studio 3DS trideshka

As a result, a large number of sounds [e] are created, which are not typical for ordinary spoken speech.

Russian computer slang does not always include words borrowed from English. Very often, slang vocabulary is formed by the way of translating an English professional term. In my classification, I distinguish between two possible methods of translation. The first method involves translating a word using neutral words existing in the Russian language, which at the same time acquire a new meaning with a reduced stylistic overtone:

Windows windows

virus living creatures

user's manual primer

During the translation process, the mechanism of associative thinking works. Metaphorization - widely used in almost all slang systems. The associations or metaphors that arise can be very different: according to the shape of the object or device:

disk Crap

adapter card tile

according to the operating principle:

matrix printer squeal

patch file patch

There are also numerous verbal metaphors:

to delete demolish

to read from disk to nag disk

to seek smth on disk rustle

It should be noted that this group includes only those words that previously did not have any slang meanings. But the second group is much more numerous - these are terms that acquired their slang translation by using the vocabulary of other professional groups. As a result, the meaning of the word changes somewhat, acquiring a meaning specific to computer slang. The most common words and expressions from youth slang are:

incorrect program glitched

streamer mophone

Word "chauffeur" came from youth slang, where it means a tape recorder; in computer slang, the same word is used to describe a storage device for information on magnetic tape - a streamer. There are also numerous transitions of words from driver's, criminal, etc. slang:

microassembler programmer - makrushnik

to connect two computers- hose

kettle- novice user,

engine- core, “engine” of the program (the second meaning of the term engine- semantically equivalent to the English equivalent engine- engine).

For example, about the Pentium-200 computer they say: “Fashionable wheelbarrow With two hundredth motor".

It is noteworthy that with this formation of slang words, some blurriness in meaning is created, which is not typical for professional English terms. In most cases, only the nature of the action or phenomenon is indicated, and its specificity is not determined. Let's compare two equivalents to the English term, the first of which belongs to professional vocabulary, and the second to slang:

LED flashlight

When does a person hear slang for the first time? "flashlight", It is unlikely that he will understand what we are talking about, because... this word only indicates that the subject of conversation emits light. The word probably originated in slang due to its tendency to exaggerate, which creates incongruity. And from a small “LED” appeared "flashlight".

2. Word formation

Many words of computer jargon are formed according to word-formation models adopted in the Russian language. For example, in a suffix way. A very common suffix is -k-:

gaming jargon - flying machine, shooter, walker, adventure game;

Utilities - watcher, squeezer, cleaner, painter.

Subsequently, words can be replaced by terms. For example, for gaming jargon:

simulator,

quest,

3D action ( action).

In the words "sidyuk", " cutter" (CD or device for reading CDs and recording information), "pisyuk" (from PC - personal computer) there is a suffix - yuk-, - ak-, characteristic of the vernacular.

With the suffix - ov (game):

Mochilovo,

Strelalovo,

holovo.

With the suffix - yash, - to:

useful things (utilities).

Simplified transliterations of English terms are often used:

bug (bug- error in the program)

fimcha (feature- software function, additional feature),

plugsmn (plug-in- addition to the software product).

3. Some changes and processes observed in computer slang

Currently, the dictionary of computer slang has a relatively large number of words. Therefore, computer slang contains words with identical or extremely similar meanings - synonyms. For example, we can distinguish synonymous series:

computer computer - computer operator - tamputer - jar - wheelbarrow - apparatus - car

to hack xakhymh - grunt - break - bang - break through

hard drive screw - chords - heavy drive - Berdan

Naturally, the more common a word is, the more synonyms it has. So most of them are in words that denote parts of a computer.

The phenomenon of the appearance of synonyms is due to the fact that in different regions of Russia (and there are quite a lot of them) different slang correspondences may appear for the same term. They can be formed in different ways, by people with different levels of English proficiency. And communication between people using different words is not yet very developed. The Internet has not yet become widespread. Therefore, when they do meet, they sometimes do not even understand each other. For the creators of computer slang dictionaries, the first problem is to write down as many possible synonyms for each term as possible and figure out some commonly known words.

Computer slang is not without all kinds of phraseological expressions. Among them there are both verbal and substantive phrases:

reap loaves ( work with the mouse)

glitch Polish ( debug the program)

three-finger firework ( exit using Ctrl-Alt-Del keys),

wind change ( change of operating system).

“Almost all of these phrases are based on associative translation. Also interesting is the process of the emergence of a kind of slang Folklore, in which terminological vocabulary is used in a broad figurative sense in various situations not related to computers. For example, a programmer who does not want to fulfill someone’s request speaks : “Can't Oren” or “ Invalid Request". It is this English text that is displayed on the computer screen when it cannot complete the task. A programmer falling asleep in the evening of a difficult day calms himself down: “ System halted” . The computer says the same thing when it switches off." Vinogradova N.V. Computer slang and literary language: problems of competition // Research on Slavic languages. Korean Association of Slavists. M., 2006. P. 17.

The personal computer, having come a long way from its birth to the present day, has improved in many ways, new devices, new software, and new technologies have appeared. Computer users have moved from using fairly primitive devices and technologies to more modern and complex ones.

As a result, the vocabulary of computer scientists is also changing. Slang also does not remain constant. With the replacement of one technology by another, old words are forgotten, they are replaced by others. This process, as well as the development of computers themselves, is taking place very rapidly. If in any other slang a word can exist for decades, then in computer slang only over the past decade of rapid technological progress an incredible number of words have appeared and gone down in history. So, for example, many young computer scientists do not use in their speech or do not even know about the existence of such words as:

Tsezhea ( CGA, Color Graphic Adapter)

Khaevaya deist ( High density diskette)

Chameleon ( type of motherboard)

Mat ( Math Co-processor)

But there are also things that have not undergone much change throughout the computer revolution. But their slang designations do not remain unchanged. The process of generational change is underway (albeit much slower than the development of computer technology), and those words that seemed fashionable and funny five to seven years ago now look outdated. Fashion and trends in society change, some words just get boring. For example, the word “number-gnawer”, denoting a computer in modern slang has replaced the words "wheelbarrow" or “comp”.

We also cannot ignore such a problem as the transition of words from slang to the category of professional or normal. Most often, quite old slang words that have managed to get used to become professional terms. At the same time, the word loses its eccentric connotation. Computer newspapers and magazines play an important role in this. The slang word appears in them in most cases due to the fact that the professional words corresponding to them are inconvenient when used frequently or are completely absent. Magazines dedicated to computer games generally use slang words in abundance in order to create a more fun, youthful atmosphere. Here is an excerpt from the magazine “Country of Games” for August 1996: “Fans quickly christened released demo version Wolf And started pitch fascist soldiers". But from such entertainment magazines, slang often moves onto the pages of more serious ones. periodicals, and sometimes scientific literature. Let's remember at least the word "iron" in the meaning of `hardware', which for some time was exclusively slang, but over time turned into professional vocabulary. Now it can be found in any computer magazine. A similar situation is with the expression “stuff text", which does not have a full-fledged analogue, since the expressions "create text file" or “enter V memory computer text" do not sufficiently reflect the essence of the process.

4. The meaning of computer slang for the Russian language

"Having traced the path of a word from its very birth in English to the transition to slang, I concluded that slang in the Russian language is a kind of “outlet” that facilitates the process of adaptation of an English-language term. Slang helps to speed up this process, in a situation of rapid development of computers, when the language is trying keep up with new technologies.

In this matter, the Russian language, without a doubt, is under the direct influence of the English language." Ivanov L.Yu. The impact of new information technologies on the Russian language: system-linguistic and cultural-speech issues // Dictionary and culture of Russian speech. To the 100th anniversary since the birth of S.I. Ozhegov. M. 2001. P. 75. And we will not be able to stop this process until we ourselves begin to create something new in the field of computer technology.

As we see, computer slang in most cases represents English borrowings or phonetic associations; cases of translation are less common, and only thanks to the wild imagination of computer scientists. The introduction of foreign words into a language should always be treated carefully, and even more so when this process is so fast.

The existence of computer slang allows specialists not only to feel like members of some closed community, but also allows them to understand each other perfectly, serves elementary means communications. Without slang, they would have to either speak English or use cumbersome professionalism in their speech.

The development of this linguistic phenomenon and its spread among an increasing number of Russian language speakers is determined by the introduction of computer technology into the life of modern society. And computer slang is starting to be used not only by computer scientists, but also by people who have nothing to do with computers at all. One day I heard one grandmother in a store say to another: “You see how HACKED they sell apples!" It seems that computer slang should become the object of close attention of linguists, because, as examples of other slang systems show, special vocabulary sometimes penetrates into the literary language and is fixed there for many years.

5. Interesting examples of Internet slang and abbreviations

At the end of my work, I would like to give examples of Russian Internet slang:

Butyavka - boot floppy disk, CD.

Vzhikalka is a dot matrix printer.

Gnusmas is Samsung, read backwards. It happened in hardware conferences due to the extremely poor quality of this company's optical drives.

Head - Processor.

Rodent - computer mouse.

Grandfather, Naked Grandfather - GoldEd program (for reading mail in Fido and fido-like networks).

Firewood (English driver) - drivers.

Emelya - email from the Russian reading of the English word e-mail, soap.

Raccoon - 1) Internet, Internet 2) Gadget (usually a communicator) from E-ten) Toad - Java programming language.

Ikashnik - infrared port Klava - keyboard.

The cure for greed is a program to hack the limiting functions of an unpaid program, sometimes just a cure.

BBS.

Lytdybr - diary. If you type Russian "diary" and forget to switch the keyboard from English, you get "lytdybr".

MUMU - Multimedia Nasilnik - programmer in C language.

Roundabout - a large file (“No need to send roundabouts over soap”).

Pedivikia is a playful name for Wikipedia.

Power supply - power supply unit.

Ritual dance with a tambourine is a sequence of actions that has no logical explanation, but leads to desired result(as a rule, to the correct operation of the system) Blue tooth, Blue tooth - (from English Bluetooth) - bluetooth radio communication technology.

Tormozilla is the Mozilla browser.

Falling asleep at the piano means falling asleep in front of the computer with your face on the keyboard. Keyprints remain on the face.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions (= FAQ).

As well as the most popular generally accepted abbreviations of the Internet community:

ICQ- the name of the program that has taken root among the people ICQ, derived from English - " Iseekyou" - " Ilooking foryou" . The program allows you to communicate with one or more interlocutors using short messages. In ICQ, various abbreviations are most often used to speed up typing.

Firewood - similar to English Driver- Computer program(s). Using a driver or another program driver, usually this OS- PC operating system, gets the ability to control devices connected to the computer (printer, scanner, mouse, etc.)

PS - same as PostScriptum(lat.), or abbreviated - PS - a note to what was written. Appears in the text when they forget to switch the keyboard from Cyrillic to Latin. Subsequently, this switch was not done deliberately to save time, and it’s “cool” to make the reader guess for himself what it would mean?

IMHO- abbreviation from English: InMyHumbleOpinion - Bymymodestopinion. On the Russian Internet this abbreviation is written as " IMHO" or " IMHO" . In the Russified abbreviation I had to find my equivalent for IMHO - an abbreviation of the phrase " And I mean m opinion, X from O distinct." As often happens in language, the abbreviation sometimes turns into an independent word: "You can keep your IMHO to yourself." But on the Internet you can also find a more daring decoding of IMHO - as an abbreviation for " AND I mean M opinion, X Ren ABOUT you argue." But such a decoding can only be done if the context clearly follows precisely the harsh version of IMHO. For example: “I don’t want to discuss your proposal, IMHO!” (As if I had put a seal: the verdict is final and not subject to appeal! Agree, very expressively!)

IP address, IP address- abbreviation for English InternetProtocolAddress, that is, a unique identifier of a computer connected to the Internet. The form of an IP address is written as four decimal numbers, from 0 to 255. Numbers are separated by dots.

Info,info(abbr.) - Inf. information, in the second case - often information about the user of the site, forum or ICQ.

Computer (PC) - (personal) computer. " I bought myself a super fancy computer."

lol - abbreviation for English LaughingOutLoud - I want to laughinallthroat. Written in response to a very witty joke.

Soap - electronicmail,e-mail,letterByelectronicmail. Consonant with English. mail.

Plz (pls) - abbreviation for English please - Please.

Prog - prog frame.

" Alcoholic" - this is not what we thought until now. This is a programmer in the Algol programming language. Also called "alcoholic" is the CD copying program Alcohol 120%.

appendixmT. Application

IfYoubeforethesesince thenyou callkeyboard " Klava" , you cannot be considered an advanced Internet user. In professional Internet slang, the keyboard is called a “grand piano.” A mouse pad is called a “rat pad”.

" Hamster" is the home page (from the English Home Page), and “donkey” is the Internet Explorer browser (from the abbreviation IE).

Notbypassedinternet peoplehisattentionAndheavytechnique. The word “tank” or the expression “to be in a tank,” which can often be found on professional IT forums, means “to be unaware of the matter, to know nothing about the subject of discussion.”

Under the unpleasant word" autoguess" hiding a computer-aided design system - the AutoCAD program.

Conclusion

Computer slang vocabulary - actively developing dynamic system(due to the unusually rapid progress of computer technology). This is one of the ways of penetration of Anglicisms into the Russian language (sometimes completely unjustified). Many words from computer jargon become official terminology.

Jargons exist not only in oral speech, not only in numerous electronic documents, letters and virtual conferences, they can also be found in print, and they often appear in reputable computer publications. And you can find them in abundance in magazines dedicated to computer games. A significant component of the vocabulary, distinguished by a colloquial, crudely colloquial coloring, expressiveness characteristic of youth slang, indicates that among computer scientists there are a lot of young people.

INTRODUCTION

The Internet today is a colossal source of information that humanity has known. But the speed and accessibility of communication between users has made it possible to use the Internet not only as a tool of knowledge, but also as a means of communication and entertainment. And virtual communication, which arose due to the rapid development of the network, gave birth to a special language - the language of virtual communication. Numerous chat rooms, open forums and personal pages created on the Internet are the main ways for young people to communicate. They have been used by hundreds of thousands of young people in Russia for quite some time. I myself am an active user of the Internet and for some time now I have begun to notice that modern youth are more willing to communicate through virtual communities than “live.” And this is alarming. Previously, people communicated through letters instead of the Internet. Now young people are trying to communicate in a more simplified language. In the future, all this may affect the speech culture of the younger generation. I am not indifferent to the fate of the Russian language, because the culture of communication is fading into the background.

Object My research is Internet slang, because it is now that most clearly influences our language, and therefore supports its life.

Goal of the work : find out how Internet slang influences the speech culture of modern teenagers.

I set myselfthe following tasks:

1.Visit various websites and forums where school students often communicate;

2. Consider frequently used slang expressions and abbreviations of words by students;

3.Identify the features of the influence of the language of Internet communication on students’ literacy, classify the types of errors

4.Explore students’ ideas on the issue raised;

Subject of study -words and expressions used

for teenagers to communicate on the Internet and the mistakes they make

Object of study -website materials

Novelty of the work is that this study is a kind of call not only for teenagers, but also for the adult population of the country to fight for the purity of their native language.

CHAPTER I. ORIGIN OF SLANG

What is slang?

In ancient times, peddlers (ofeni) roamed around Ancient Rus'. They traded various things in cities and villages. And on the way to these cities and villages they were often attacked by robbers. To protect goods and revenue and keep their route secret, the Ofeni came up with their own language. (Remember what question representatives of the criminal world ask when meeting each other: “Do you use a hairdryer?”). It is from him, modern linguists believe, that all sorts of jargons and slangs originate. Moreover, echoes of the Ofeni language can still be heard, for example, the word “cool”, widely used by more than one generation of Russians, comes from the same language of traders. By the way, it meant then about the same as today - “excellent”, “great”.

Slang are words that are often seen as violating the norms of standard language. These are very expressive, ironic words that serve to designate objects that are talked about in everyday life. It should be noted that some scientists classify jargon as slang, thus not identifying them as an independent group, and slang is defined as a special vocabulary used to communicate between a group of people with common interests. The term “slang” itself translated from English language means:

1. the speech of a socially or professionally isolated group, as opposed to a literary language;

2. a variant of colloquial speech that does not coincide with the norm of the literary language.

Slang is most often used by teenagers and young adults. So, what is youth slang?

Youth slang

Youth slang is not a stable phenomenon over time, and the “speak” of modern ninth-graders still differs from the “vocabulary” of their parents at the same age.

According to philologists, youth slang is a means of communication between people, conventionally united by age from 11 to 30 years. This is a mixture of many jargons: criminal - “to hang around”, “to splurge”, “clothes”, “arrow”; computer - “Windows”, “drive”; normative and profanity - “hilyat”, “cormorant”, as well as other words formed by adding obscene parts to established slang. The vocabulary of jargon is limited by the interests of those who use it. In this case, it is a school or college, representatives of the opposite sex, music, leisure. Rockers, punks, hippies, football fans have their own language

Sources of youth slang are also foreign languages (“size” - size, “hair” - hair, “mani” - money, “Little” - small), borrowings from the language of musicians, athletes and computer terminology. However, both before and now the source of slang is the ordinary literary language. It’s just that the meaning of individual words of normal speech is changed. For example, “white”, “hare” - computer mouse, “clone” - from clone, the same “scan” - copied, written off, “mobile” - telephone, communication, “Simka” or “Samsa” (from the abbreviation SMS ) - a method of mobile communication, "glitch" - an error, incompleteness in a computer program.

Most high school students cannot imagine their speech without slang. “Others won’t understand us then... It will be impossible to communicate,” they reason. - Slang distinguishes us from older people. And how can you explain something to kids the same age without your favorite words “bullshit”, “frenzy”, “grandmas”, “prankster”? Schoolchildren are convinced that speaking slang is fashionable; it covers most life situations.

What is slang for? If thieves use slang to help hide their thoughts and intentions, then school slang is not needed for this at all.

Slang makes speech more concise and emotionally expressive. (Let’s compare two expressions. In bookish, literary language: “I feel a strong pleasant feeling from this song.” In slang: “I’m just in awe of this song!”)

Slang serves as an identifying sign that this person belongs to a given social environment.

Functions of youth slang

Slang acts as a means of informal communication among young people. Also, the phrases used by young people sound more playful than ordinary ones. Many chat rooms have appeared that have taken a strong position on the Internet. Network users quickly mastered the rules of the virtual language: they both hear and write: yozhik (hedgehog), preved (hello), etc.

One of the main problems in the spread of such a language is the distortion of words, which will inevitably reduce literacy. The reason for the emergence and spread of “network language”, on the one hand, is the poverty of users’ vocabulary and at the same time the desire to be original, and on the other hand, novelty. For example, such slang words of the second half of the twentieth century as “limita”, “hipsters”, “net” (in the sense: “a truant, a person shirking from something”), “firm”, etc., although they are still used from time to time , but are practically becoming a thing of the past. Researchers note that the fate of slang words and expressions is not the same: some of them become so accustomed over time that they become common speech; others exist only for some time together with their carriers, and then are forgotten even by them; and, finally, the third slang words and expressions remain slang for a long time and the lives of many generations, never completely pass into the common language, but at the same time are not completely forgotten.

1.4. The difference between computer slang and other slangs

What is the difference between computer slang and other types of slang?

1) these words are used to communicate between people of the same profession - programmers or simply people who use a computer for some purpose;

2) computer slang is characterized by its “obsession” with the reality of the computer world. The slang names in question refer only to this world, thus separating it from everything else, and are often incomprehensible to the ignorant. For example, not every person will understand the expression “three-finger salute,” which means resetting the computer by pressing the Ctrl-Alt-Del keys. Thanks to knowledge of such a special language, computer scientists feel like members of a closed community;

3) among this vocabulary there are often quite vulgar words. Thus, these three observations do not allow us to classify computer slang as a single group of non-literary words and force us to consider it as a phenomenon that has features of each of them. This allows us to define the term computer slang as words used only by people who are directly related to computers in everyday life, replacing professional vocabulary and differing in colloquial language.

Let's give an interesting example: boys, approving a friend's bike or New film, they said 15 years ago - cool!, 5 years ago - cool!, 2-3 years ago - cool!, and now - wow!

The new style of communication on the Internet implies that a virtual person must be able to speak quickly and at the same time be original.

CHAPTER II. INTERNET – SLANG AND SPEECH CULTURE

Internet slang, a style of speech based on deliberately incorrect spelling, spread spontaneously on the Internet as a grotesque reaction to numerous spelling errors in Internet publications and remarks. This slang plays an important role in the modern world, just like the global Internet itself. After all, people spend a huge part of their time there: they receive the necessary information, work with its help, communicate on social networks, play games. Online Games and much more cannot be done without the participation of the network.In order to analyze the influence of Internet communication on the literacy of adolescents, I examined the sites, blogs, forums, and chat rooms most frequently visited by my classmates, and made the following conclusions.

1. Illiterate writing prevails on the Internet, as it is assumed anonymity user. As a result, the network exhibits a feature associated with a reduction in psychological and social risk in the process of communication - liberation, profane language and some irresponsibility of communication participants.

2. Due to difficulty communicating emotionsusers persistently strive for emotional content in the text, which is expressed in the creation of special icons - emoticons to indicate emotions or in describing emotions in words (in parentheses after the main text of the message).

3. The manner of communication and competent writing depend on the form of virtual communication (forums, guest books, chats, conferences, emails, blogs, personal diaries). Each of these forms has its own unique traditions of communication and makes special demands on the language in which communication takes place. For example, forums is a place for networking between a group of authors, where posts are united by a common theme. Replies from forum participants are more consistent with the manner of written speech: statements are logically structured, complete and informative. On the forums they fight against unpleasant slang and obscene language. Lyrics in guest book are as close as possible to the genre of writing - the epistolary genre, which is being successfully revived thanks to the Internet. For chats characterized by unprepared, spontaneous utterances with a predominance of the conversational genre, which, however, is imprinted by the specificity of the exchange of remarks in written form.TeleconferencesMost often they are devoted to a specific subject, and statements on them, due to time constraints, are laconic. Over the past few years they have become very popular blogs - online diaries of one or more authors. They are in complete chaos. This is an exclusively youth way of communication and self-expression. For example, + adyn, from Internet language+1 translated as “test”, “cool”, “cool”, also has the same meaning and +10, +100, etc. (Aftar zhot, +adyn). Or: “Kolobok hanged himself.” - A-HA-HA-HA (Literal sound imitation of laughter. The number of syllables HA is not limited). For order in personal diary its owner watches, and communication in it, as a rule, is carried out using slang.

4. The Russian language of virtual communication is under direct influence from the American version of English, which dictates its own rules for communication on the Internet. One of the most obvious borrowings by a Russian-speaking user from an English-speaking user is the use of generally accepted emoticons (“emoticons”). The main purpose of using such a sign system is to save time allocated for communication. Lack of time is a sign of modern society as a whole: the pace of life accelerates every day, and language, accordingly, adapts to new operating conditions.

5. The language of the Internet is essentially the language of programmers’ own Russian-language youth slang, which also undoubtedly influences the written communication of Internet users.

Thus, we can conclude that Internet communication is the most popular in the world. This type of communication requires writing messages quickly, so the letters are short and concise. The volume of one message does not exceed 5-6 words. In this regard, a symbiosis of written and spoken speech, or, as it is also called differently, Internet slang, gradually began to develop.

To find out the attitude towards Internet slang among teenagers, I conducted my own user survey.

CHAPTER III. QUESTIONNAIRE

I conducted a survey at school among students in grades 5-11. 41 people were interviewed.

To the first question: “Do you communicate on the Internet?”, 31 people answered “yes”, 10 people answered “no”.

To the second question: “What forms of communication do you prefer?”, 22 people answered “live”, 19 people answered “virtually”.

The next question was: “Do you use slang when communicating?” 30 people answered affirmatively, 11 people answered negatively.

To the fourth question: “Do you use Internet slang?”, 31 students answered “yes”, 10 students answered “no”.

Fifth question: “Why do you use slang?” And 20 people answered “too lazy, I don’t know”, 7 people “liked”, and 14 people “convenient”.

To the sixth question: “Do you use spelling and punctuation rules when corresponding when communicating on the Internet?”, 22 students answered “yes,” 14 students answered “no,” 5 students answered “sometimes.”

To the last question: “Does changing words on the Internet affect your literacy?” 23 people answered affirmatively, 18 answered negatively.

I asked you to write some of the most popular words from Internet slang. Here is the answer. The most popular words, according to students: che (cho), sha, sps, nech, nz, priv, ok, thank you, ya lyu, finally, inet, nyashka, sp, ls, pozhe, bro, soska, hah, nzch , at your place, norms, from the heart, etc.

Thus, the results of the responses indicate that the style of Internet communication is slowly but surely penetrating our lives. The guys began to communicate much faster, using a lot of abbreviations in their speech to save time.

CONCLUSION

The results of the work carried out on this topic showed the following.

Firstly, communication on the Internet, which does not force you to think about how you write, why you say it that way, has a negative impact on the vocabulary of a modern teenager, since children get used to incorrect speech and begin to use slang expressions not only when they are working computer, but also in everyday life: making notes in school notebooks, communicating with each other, talking with teachers and parents.

Secondly, the language becomes clogged due to the use of a large number of foreign words used in speech without translation.

Thirdly, the forums are full of obscene expressions.

Fourthly, the attitude towards the quality of literacy in virtual communication depends on what is primary for children and what is secondary: the economic side or the moral side, a tribute to fashion or the desire to stand out.

Although, as they get older, the guys try to communicate in the correct language and avoid the continuous use of slang. “I would like to communicate with a competent person,” they say.

And although words from slang Internet communication are heard in oral speech, in written speech high school students have fewer of them.

All these observations allow us to conclude that our youth, as they grow up, treat their language more carefully, which means they understand how important it is to preserve its purity and originality. I.S. Turgenev also wrote: “Take care of our language, our beautiful Russian language is a treasure, this is an asset passed on to us by our predecessors! Handle this powerful tool with respect; in skillful hands it is capable of performing miracles.”

I believe that the material collected during work on the topic will be interesting for school students; it should be used both in Russian language lessons and in extracurricular work on the subject.

APPENDIX 2

Internet slang, Internet jargon is not just a tribute to fashion and a criterion of “advancement”. This is a necessary component of the knowledge base of all users - from programmers to teapots. Based on slang on the Internet, a virtual language has been developed (and is being developed), which helps to quickly and in more detail understand the organization and operation of Internet resources (sites, portals, forums), be able to describe one’s actions and understand other users.

The language of communication on the Internet is regulated only by the rules of moderation of the service, which mainly boil down to a ban on the use of obscene words and context regulated by law. Otherwise, the user is given complete freedom.
Each group of users, to varying degrees, is characterized by the use of one or another type of vocabulary: slang, jargon, professional terminology, literary language. The exact distribution of language types by subgroup is unknown, since such studies have not yet been conducted.
However, it can be said that the younger generation uses slang more often and is well acquainted with computer terminology. Slang replaces complex linguistic structures for the younger generation, which they have not yet mastered very well.

Separately, we can highlight the so-called "Albanian language" on the Russian Internet, aka "padoncuff jargon". This style, based on deliberately incorrect spelling, spread spontaneously on the Internet as a reaction of users to numerous spelling errors in publications and in reader comments on forums. A striking sign of this style is “Ochepyatka” - the word “typo”, written with a typo, which symbolizes the meaning of a typo and error.
The Albanian language even has its own norms and rules for writing words:

1- “Yo” at the beginning of a word can be written as “YO”. Example: YOZHIK (hedgehog).
2- Often, the use of the consonant “C” or “TsTs” instead of the combination of consonants “TS”, “TS” or “DS”. Such a replacement carries a special chic, emphasizing a certain experience of the user’s communication in the virtual world. Example: MayTsa (toils).
3- The ending “KA” in nouns is unique - the accepted spelling is “ko”. Example: pictureO (picture), and taking into account point 1 we have “YOLKO” (Christmas tree).
4- Also with verbs starting with “СЯ”. Example: bathesO, and taking into account point 2 - kupaecO (bathes).
5- A rule that came from the French and Russian aristocracy: at the end of “OV” (OFF) and German, a hard “V” is usually replaced by “FF”. Example: aFFtor (author).
6- A rule often found in chats, when an unstressed “O” is written as “A” and, if there is an “O” in a preposition, the voiced consonant that follows it is replaced by a voiceless one. Example: aP ugAl (about the corner), taking into account 5., for example aFFTAr (author).
7- For experienced users, it is also common to replace the letter “H” with the number “4”. However, this is more of a dare than a generally accepted rule.
8- “ZHY”, “SHI” instead of “ZHI” and “SHI”, as well as “CHYA” and “SHCHA” instead of “CHA” and “SHA”.
9- Using “Shch” instead of “SCH” and “YA”, “YO”, “YU” instead of capital letters Ya, Yo, Yu.
10- Interchange of voiceless and voiced words at the end of a word, for example, crosafcheg.
11- Merging words together is also common, for example, rzhunimagu.
In addition, the “padonkaff” language also contains specific vocabulary - jargon in the proper sense of the word, for example: padonok, zhzhosh, afftar drink yada, hellish, etc.
The phrase “F Babruisk, zhivotnae!” became especially famous.

* Overquoting - excessive quoting in response to a message in an echo conference. As a rule, when a user responds to someone's letter on a forum, the original text of the letter is first quoted (and it is visually indented or in a different font), and then the answer itself comes. This is done so that the rest of those present understand what is actually being commented on. The most common mistake in this case is overquoting - excessive quoting. Because in order for the answer to be clear, there is almost always no need to quote the entire original letter. It is enough to quote only the part that is necessary to understand the answer. But it often happens that a user quotes a huge letter only to write “Agree” or “I agree with every word.” Overquoting is harmful and should be avoided whenever possible.

When you begin to practically integrate the English language into your life and communicate with native speakers in messages on language exchange sites or in Skype chat, one way or another you come across modern language, culture and slang.

An important part of the latter are special abbreviations that English and American youth constantly use in communication via the Internet, social networks and SMS. They replace entire phrases to save time.

There are in Russian: “thank you”, “ZY”, “lol”. The English list is rich, but don’t be afraid to get confused. Once you understand the logic of education and start using these abbreviations in practice, you will become a master of SMS and instant messaging in English. 🙂

general information

The abbreviations I'm talking about are divided into 2 groups: acronyms and abbreviations.

Acronyms are an abbreviation of the initial sounds of each word included in a given phrase. Pronounced as one word, not spelled out.

BFN- bye for now - okay, bye
JK- just kidding - yes, I'm just kidding
TTYL- talk to you later - let's talk later

Abbreviations allow you to exclude some letters from a word, leaving the same sound. At the same time, the meaning of the word remains clear.

Plz, pls- please - please (request)
Thx- thanks - thank you
U- you - you

It happens that letters and sounds are replaced by numbers that sound similar to the given word.

L8r- later - later
B4- before - before
2morro- tomorrow - tomorrow
