Abstract

This article will focus on the culture of the language of social networks. Currently, starting from linguists to the intelligentsia in general, the alarm has begun to sound in the media regarding the language culture in social networks. After all, with intensive use of the social network, situations often arise on the Internet when the language culture is not supported. The article will focus on the culture of language in the social network, factors that negatively affect it, polite speech and contradictory concepts of verbal aggression (rudeness), trolling, cyberbullying. This article is devoted to the linguistic features of social network. These language features include the extensive use of foreign vocabulary and slang words. Both groups of words are actively used in forming a single phenomenon of communication. Like any language, the language of social media includes both literary vocabulary and limited areas of use: slang and jargon. The main difference is that the main part of foreign lexemes repeats new concepts that do not exist in the Kazakh and Russian languages. Most of the words that have become popular among Internet users are Americanisms. Analysis of the vocabulary of social networks shows that this process is only intensifying. The ways of manifestation of each of the listed features, the influence on language levels will be discussed. Scientific consideration of these issues will be reflected in the language practice of social networks.
