Introduction

Language is a dynamic phenomenon. It is constantly evolving: new words and expressions appear, and the vocabulary of a modern person is replenished. In speech among native speakers of the Russian language, various jargons and dialectisms are quite common. But recently computer slang has received the main distribution. The emergence of this term is associated with the rapid growth of computer technologies since the second half of the 20th century and, in particular, the mass introduction of personal computers and computer devices in the mid-1980s into everyday life of an ordinary person. Together with the new technology, computer games have been introduced into the human world, where certain individual designations of things are also present.

As a future philologist, I was interested in this topic, because the development of the latest technologies is transforming the language, the vocabulary of a modern person is changing radically. Therefore, creating this work, I tried to answer the question: how is computer slang formed in the Russian language.

In this way, goal of this work: to study the formation of computer slang and identify its features in the language system.

The goal set required the solution of specific tasks:

Define computer slang.

To identify the reasons for the appearance of computer slang in Russia.

Consider the main ways of forming computer slang.

Highlight the features of the formation of slang in our country.

Compile a dictionary of computer slang for a student and a gamer.

draw conclusions from this work.

Research material served as the site of culture and recreation skio.ru.

Scientific novelty of this work lies in the fact that for the first time a comparative analysis of the methods of formation of computer slang was carried out in it and its own version of the classification was presented.

object research in this paper is English and Russian vocabulary related to computer slang.

Subject This study is a comparative study of the formation and development of computer slang.

The practical significance of the work consists in the possibility of applying its results in school and everyday life to understand the interlocutor. The obtained conclusions and developed dictionaries can be used in lessons on Russian and English lexicology, stylistics, in a special course on computer slang. The research material can be used in the practice of teaching English.

The following methods were used in the work:

The method of direct linguistic observation and description (used to sample computer slang from a dictionary).

Method of dictionary definitions (to determine the meaning of words and analyze its structure).

Comparative analysis method (used in studies of the structure and meaning of slang).

With the increase in the number of computers and general computerization in many national languages, the formation of computer sublanguages ​​- special jargons that serve as a means of communication for computer scientists. Computer slang is a type of slang used by both professional (for example, IT professionals) and other computer users.

A feature of computer slang is that these words serve to communicate people of the same profession - programmers, or just people who use a computer in everyday life. At the same time, they are used as synonyms for English professional terms, differing from them in emotional coloring.

Secondly, computer slang is distinguished by its "obsession" with the realities of the computer world. The slang names in question refer only to this world, thus separating it from everything else. Thanks to the knowledge of such a special language, computer scientists feel like members of a certain closed community.

1.2 Features of computer slang in Russia

However, unlike computer jargons formed on the basis of European languages ​​and functioning on the basis of one graphic system - Latin, Russian computer jargon has to not only master the elements of a foreign lexical and grammatical system, but also adapt them to Cyrillic writing. Not only substantive, but also formal adaptation of elements of a foreign language code, on the one hand, significantly complicates this task, on the other hand, makes it more diverse and interesting. This determines the specificity of the Russian computer language in comparison with computer jargons that exist on the basis of European languages ​​that are structurally closer to English.

1.3 Reasons for the appearance of computer slang in Russia

If you look at the numerous magazines that cover the latest computer technology market, we will see that more or less significant developments appear almost every week. And in the conditions of such a technological revolution, each new phenomenon in this area should receive its verbal designation, its name. And since almost all of them (with rare exceptions) appear in America, they naturally receive it in English. When, after some time, these developments become known in Russia, then for the vast majority of them, of course, there is no equivalent in the Russian language.

The second reason is the people themselves who work with computers. These are quite young professionals, in connection with this, they have a desire to dilute English terms with humor, add their own emotional coloring, an element of ease to express their position and assessment in relation to the subject of conversation, partner or situation.

Recently, there has also been a craze for young people in computer games, social media. Networks and various forums. This again served as a powerful source of new words. Appeared various words for certain concepts, these include “arcade”, “walker”, “boss”, “doomer”, etc.

2 Ways to form computer slang

2.1 The method of formation on the example of the classifications of Vinogradova N.V. and Gorshkov P.A.

There are different classifications of computer slang. We will give two most convenient classifications of Vinogradova N.V. and Gorshkov P.A.

Vinogradova offers the following classification of computer slang.

First group- direct transliteration of the English word while maintaining the main meaning of the lexeme:

gadget - gadget;

game - game;

gamer— gamer;

offtopic - off-topic;

second group words are examples, regarding which we can no longer talk about transliteration, but about phonetic and grammatical “distortion” (a kind of “Russification”) of the original:

debug - debug;

din - game;

google- google;

think-DOOM.

third group represent words that have homonyms in the composition of the literary language. Many stylistically neutral Russian words, being used and reinterpreted by computer dialect speakers, acquire additional meanings.

These are Russian words chosen for reasons of phonetic similarity to the English originals:

loaf - button;

muscle-MySQL;

paga-page.

Fourth group words are represented by acronyms. These are English by origin and by the method of formation compound abbreviated words, which have not yet been involved in the process of mastering them by the Russian language. For example:

aka(from the English "AlsoKnownAs") - 1) one of the network addresses of a person who has several of them 2) a pseudonym;

goose— music card GravisUltraSound;

Olya- ObjectLinkingandEmbedding technology, which allows you to edit data created in another program without leaving the main editor.

These examples also prove that computer slang tends to simplify, minimize and standardize language tools to a large extent.

An interesting and new, previously uncharacteristic for the Russian language, is such a way of forming complex abbreviated words, in which the word is replaced by an identically sounding name of a letter or number:

2-to, for example, G2G (got to go);

4-for, for example, B4N (bye for now).

For a table of acronyms, see Annex I.

Another classification is offered by Gorshkov P.A.:

1) tracing paper (full borrowing);

2) semi-tracing paper (borrowing the basis);

3) translation;

4) phonetic mimicry.

The first group, called tracing paper, includes borrowings not grammatically mastered by the Russian language. In this case, the word is borrowed entirely with its pronunciation, spelling and meaning. Such borrowings are subject to assimilation. Each sound in the borrowed word is replaced by the corresponding sound in Russian in accordance with phonetic laws. These words seem foreign in pronunciation and spelling, they correspond to all the norms of the English language. Here are examples of words completely borrowed from English:

Table #1

(For the full version of Table No. 1, see Appendix II)

In the second group, called half-tracing paper, when a term is transferred from English to Russian, the latter adjusts the received word to the norms not only of its phonetics, as in the previous group, but also of spelling with grammar. The table shows the following examples of semicalca:

Table number 2

(see Annex III for the full version of Table 2)

After analyzing this classification of computer slang, we highlight the following peculiarities and ways of its formation:

During grammatical assimilation, the English term comes at the disposal of Russian grammar, obeying its rules. Nouns, for example, acquire case endings: simk a(I.p.), simk and(R.p.), simk e(D.p.).

The words of this group can be formed in the following way: word-building models of the Russian language are added to the original English stem by certain methods. These include, first of all, diminutive suffixes of nouns -ik, -k(a), -nik and yuk, which are typical for vernacular in Russian: nushka, varik, kompik, pisyuk.

Due to the fact that the source language is analytic and the borrowing language is synthetic, there is an addition of inflections to verbs:

upgrade be from English. toupgrade;

gama be from English. game;

google be from English. google

In accordance with the fact that one of the characteristic features of slang is the reduction of long and complex professionalisms, one can single out a technique - univerbization. Here is an example of such a phenomenon:

Table #3

A fairly large number of words in this group came from various abbreviations, names of various protocols, firms. For example:

IPishnik- IP;

XPishka - XP (Windows).

The long names of many programs and games also had to be shortened or abbreviated if the full names consisted of several words. For example: Executionfile(EXE) - executable; Three-dimensionalStudio(3DS) - tridashka.

As a result, a large number of sounds [e] are created that are not typical for ordinary colloquial speech.

In the third group, translation very often slang vocabulary is formed by the way of translating an English professional term. This method includes the translation of the word using the neutral words existing in the Russian language, which at the same time acquire a new meaning with a reduced stylistic coloring:

Table No. 4

(see Annex IV for the full version of Table 4)

In the process of translation, the mechanism of associative thinking works. Arising associations or metaphors can be very different: in the form of an object or device. There are also numerous verbal metaphors: share-(derived from the English "share" - "share" (property)) means to open any resource in the local network for collective access.

fourth group, phonetic mimicry is based on the coincidence of semantically dissimilar common words and English computer terms. A word that turns into slang takes on a completely new meaning, in no way connected with the common one. Consider these examples:

Table number 5

(For the full version of Table No. 5, see Appendix V)

In this group of words, there are especially many names of various programs, perhaps because it is these names that are most often unclear in use and perception for Russian users of computer technology:

burnt firewood- CorelDraw (King of firewood);

AldusPajamker- Corel Aldus Page Maker.

After analyzing two classifications of Gorshkov P.A. and Vinogradova N.V., we can draw the following conclusions: in Gorshkov's classification there is no such group as acronyms, or abbreviations, and in Vinogradova's classification there is no translation category. This conclusion led to the need to create an improved classification.

We took both as the basis of our classification: Vinogradova N.V. and Gorshkova P.A. and distributed the words that make up English computer slang into the following groups:

2) semi-tracing paper;

3) translation;

4) phonetic mimicry;

5) acronyms.

See the appendix for the compiled tables.

2.2 Frequency of occurrence of different modes of education

I studied the place of computer slang in the language system using a dictionary compiled by the administration of culture and recreation http://skio.ru/ in order to identify the most common methods of education and show the frequency of their use.

Table No. 6

This study showed that the most common words in computer slang are words formed by direct transliteration of an English word while maintaining the main meaning of the lexeme (tracing paper). The last place is occupied by complex abbreviated words, which are not yet involved in the process of mastering them by the Russian language.

Most likely, a large number of words formed by the calque method in Russian was a consequence of the fact that most software works in English. As a result, people have a kind of addiction to some common commands or messages.

In addition to “addiction”, here, of course, the general tendency among young people to attract Anglicisms into their everyday speech also played a role. Passion for anglicisms has become a kind of fashion, it is due to the stereotypes and ideals created in the youth society. Such a stereotype of our era is the image of an idealized American society, in which the standard of living is much higher, and high rates of technological progress lead the whole world. And by adding English borrowings to their speech, young people in a certain way approach this stereotype, join the American culture and lifestyle. The use of these words is also a way of “encrypting”, creating a certain society where only “their own” understand you.

Conclusion

Summing up the work, we can firmly say that I answered the main question - how computer slang is formed in Russian, through the consistent solution of tasks and the correct use of methods.

First, I proved the urgency of this problem. The development of the latest technologies really influenced the formation of the vocabulary of the current generation, which led to the appearance of computer slang in the language system. Secondly, I gave a definition to computer slang, followed the process of its formation in Russia. Thirdly, she revealed the features of computer slang and the ways of its formation on the examples of the classifications of Vinogradova and Gorshkov. Gave a comparative description of these classifications. Fourthly, I analyzed, compared, presented the frequency of occurrence of certain ways of forming computer slang in the Russian language. Fifthly, I compiled dictionaries for PC users: a dictionary of computer slang for a student and a gamer.

The results of this study helped me understand the role and structure of computer slang through the history of its formation in Russia, its functioning in the Russian language and its use by specific individuals, i.e. PC users.
