ENGLISH AND AMERICAN SLANG IN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

Nowadays English acquired the status of international language for most people, even those who are non-native speakers.

Significantly increased students' interest in the English language is due to the fact that the possibility of visiting the United States, Britain and the other countries where English is as official language occured As a result of these trips students have the opportunity not only to see a different culture and earn money, but also get a good language practice.

English language is considered the most "fashionable" and the most promising one to study among the youth. Many young people are familiar with it. That's why many youth jargons are the words that are borrowed from English, but not translated into the Russian. These jargons are understood even by those people who had never learned English. For example: to videotape, to photograph, laptop, fifty-fifty (50 to 50); respect; exchange; loser; drink; people; crazy; price-list best; darling. english language popularization dialect

Another cause of popularization of the language is pop culture, e.g. fascination with the popular music of different trends and genres: pop-music, dark (heavy music), release, play-list, chart, face-control, dance, cool, remake, show business, club, fashion, and so on. films also lead to the fact that the main bulk of americanisms is firmly set in the Russian language. For example, a derivative from acronym OK pronounced as OKAY, and the famous phrase from the movie Terminator I'll be back has become popular.

Another reason of using anglicisms is the development of computer technology and social networking. In this connection there are words such as user, gamer, login, password, copy, paste, print, save, open, file. Years have passed, but young people still continue to use English words and terms which are related to computers and the Internet. The Internet has produced many popular anglicisms associated with the global network: smile, e-mail, online, connect, like, site, blog, blogger, chat, and more with young people Also, the sport is the popularization of using English words. Borrowings which are related with the popular sports are sportsman, fitness, bodybuilding, shaping, surfing. The active use of these words in the slang of today's youth is primarily due to the so-called "cult of the beautiful body," promoted in the modern world.

So the young people and students can not use English words in their communication, because some of these words have already come to the Russian language. On the one hand, the creation of new words significantly expands the vocabulary of Russian people, but on the other hand, leads to losing much of its unique beauty and originality.

Imitation of life of American youth has generated one of the largest groups of slang. There are the following words used the Russian youth in everyday life and standard daily situations as boy-friend, VIP, weekend, very good, public, ok, nice, lucky, hotel, go, party, super-girl, baby, ask, looser, hi, real, best and a huge number of words.

In conclusion it is necessary to note: slang will never disappear. Young people used slang many years ago, and will always use them. Without a doubt, slang changes in time, some words are dying, others - appear. However, many anglicizes which are penetrated to the Russian youth slang long before the XXI century will remain in their jargon forever adding new words every day.
