Abstract

The language of the Internet undergoes modifications in different aspects: vocabulary, text formation, communication strategy, etc. Different tendencies such as deviation from general spelling rules, the usage of contracted word forms, the use of colloquialism in speech, simplification of grammatical structures and lingiuistic means are revealed. The Internet users gradually modify the language thus creating new linguistic forms which penetrate into real life from virtual communication.
