Abstract
The paper studies the psycholinguistic problem of the English language globalization, connected with an increasing number of English loans in Ukrainian and the necessity to understand their role in forming the Ukrainian lexical system. The aim of the article is to analyze the use of English loans in Ukrainian youth slang. The paper identifies the problem of differences in the use of borrowings between males and females of different ages by analyzing language associations. Gender has also been found to influence the perception of loanwords and the formation of language associations. The revealed trend of the use of more English loanwords in the older age group suggests that students of the Ukrainian universities prefer Anglo-Americanisms to their Ukrainian equivalents. The scientific value of the work is that for the first time in the psycholinguistic aspect Anglo-Americanisms are considered in accordance with their role in the internationalization of the English language. The results of the research confirmed that the use of the loanwords depends on the age factors.
