Об исследовании влияния глобализации на славянские языки

Abstract

The paper deals with research devoted to the study of the impact of globalization on Slavic languages. Globalization is a process which covers many spheres of life, The driving force of globalization, as scholars claim, were economic processes. Therefore, globalization has been studied mainly from this perspective. The consequences of globalization manifest themselves in politics, society and environment. Culture, and language as an integral part of culture, are globalized as well. On the one hand, language is the object of the influence of globalization. On the other hand, language mirrors this process. The subject of this research is to show how globalization is reflected in language. The aim of this research is to analyze the changes that have taken place in Slavic languages in the past decades and to identify those trends (including negatives ones) which appeared in Slavic languages. The researchers write that hybridization threatens local cultures and national languages. Is this actually the case? This question should be answered after thorough studies of language material. This paper concerns other aspects of research: the period of the research, research material and its contribution to scholarship.
