Введение:

The Internet plays a very important role in the modern world. A large number of people spend a lot of time communicating with each other on the Internet. Communication on the Internet has become especially relevant in recent months — this is due to the spread of the coronavirus and the fact that many people are at home. They have a lot of free time and thus communication via the Internet is for many people the only possible way to communicate with each other. Since Internet communication is very important, the importance of studying the language features of Internet discourse is especially relevant today.

The relevance of research. The concept of youth slang is the basis of the interaction of any language. The structure that is contained in the language, without being embodied in speech, is dead, has no practical purpose. Knowledge of the specifics of speech behavior is the basis of the foundations of intercultural interaction.

The relevance of the study lies in the contradiction between the need for language acquisition, mastery of language norms in the context of the realities of reality and insufficient knowledge of the colloquial speech structure of both languages. A prerequisite for this work is the need to trace the similarities and differences between the two languages.

The object of this work is the spoken and written speech of Internet slang

The subject of the work is the analysis of the functioning of written and colloquial speech in the Internet slang of the Chinese and English languages.

The purpose of this work is to consider the features of youth slang in English and Chinese.

In accordance with the goal, it is necessary to solve a number of tasks:

— Describe the concept of slang

— Describe the specifics of slang

— Describe the language features of slang

— Analyze the use of speech formulas of English and Chinese slang

Presented in the works of such authors as U. Halzbaur, A.N. Romantsov, A.E. Nazimko, M. Sonder, A.V. Shumovich, G.L. Tulchinsky and others.

The specifics of the organization of interaction between the editor and the author in the publishing house is presented in the works of I. B. Shubina, S. Lemer, V. Moroz, S. Turygina, A. Kugach, B. Schmitt and others.

Заключение:

Based on the above definitions, the following definition of proverbs can be derived, which is accepted as a working definition: Proverbs are stable combinations of words that have a constant component composition with fully or partially reinterpreted meaning, perform nominative and expressive function in the language, as a rule, have a coherent meaning, are reproduced as a ready speech unit, have their own features of use in speech.

Internet slang refers to various types of slang used by different people on the Internet. An example of Internet slang is «LOL», which means «laugh out loud». It is difficult to give a standardised definition of Internet slang because of the constant changes made to its nature.

Nevertheless, it is possible to understand any type of slang that Internet users have popularised and in many cases invented. Such terms often come about to save keystrokes or to compensate for small character limitations. Many people use the same abbreviations in text messages and instant messages as well as in social media . Acronyms, keyboard symbols and abbreviations are common types of internet slang. New slang dialects, such as leet or Lolspeak, are developing as in-group internet memes rather than time-savings. Many people use internet slang not only online, but also face-to-face.

The main motivation for using slang unique to the Internet is to facilitate communication.

On the other hand, similar to the use of slang in traditional face-to-face or written speech, Internet slang is often a way of indicating group membership.

Internet slang provides a channel that facilitates and limits our ability to communicate in ways that are fundamentally different from those found in other semiotic situations. Many of the expectations and practices that we associate with spoken and written speech no longer apply. The Internet itself is ideal for the emergence of new slang because of the richness of the medium and the availability of information.

Thus, slang is motivated to «create and maintain online communities». These communities, in turn, play a role in solidarity or identification or in exceptional or common cause.

Internet slang does not constitute a homogeneous linguistic diversity. Rather, it differs according to the user and the type of Internet situation.

Many debates continue about how the use of slang on the Internet affects language outside the digital realm. Although a direct causal relationship between the Internet and language has not yet been proven by any scientific research, Internet slang has offered separate views on its impact on the standard of language use in non-computer communications.

Prescriptivists tend to believe that the Internet has a negative impact on the future of language and that it will lead to a deterioration of standards. Descriptivists, on the other hand, countered that the Internet allows for better expression of language. Rather than establishing linguistic conventions, linguistic choices sometimes reflect personal taste.

It has also been suggested that, unlike the deliberate disregard of language conventions, Internet slang results from a lack of motivation to monitor speech on the Internet.

CHAPTER 1. INTERNET DISCOURSE AS A ENVIRONMENT OF EXISTENCE OF MODERN INTERNET JARGON

1.1. The concept of Internet discourse

Tom Bollstorff’s work on adulthood in Second Life (2008) was a great source of inspiration for this study, which, among other things, helped to better understand the concept of virtuality. That said, due to the focus of the paper, I will focus mainly on media and virtual communication in the Internet environment. First of all, I will try to describe media and their general characteristics as John B. Thompson understands them. Thompson in his work «Media and Modernity» (2004). We could think of media as any tools for creating and distributing messages in different forms. Thompson traces the pervasiveness, the power of media and the extent to which media messages can influence the worldviews of members of society. Later I will elaborate on today’s so-called social media.

Although Bellstorff himself only moved within the virtual world of Second Life, i.e. he did not follow the physical reality of subjects or receive data from other virtual locations, he himself acknowledges and emphasizes that the physical and virtual worlds are interconnected and thus influence and complement each other. Authors engaged in digital ethnography must then address the challenges specific to this form of locality under study.

Mostly it is a question of its property of a kind of boundlessness or unconfinedness. While this type of terrain does not necessarily depend on the boundaries of physical space, research is characterised by certain limitations. Internet space is vast, perhaps infinite, constantly changing, but it is impossible for a researcher or group of researchers to incorporate everything that happens in it into their work.

Boellstorff, as already mentioned, only moved within a single space, so he did not deal, for example, with online discussions of players, which may have taken place within specific chat rooms and discussion forums. Although the author perceives the study participants as unique entities in their own right, due to the vastness of the space he was only able to capture their uniqueness to a very limited extent.
