THE ROLE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN THE MODERN DIALOGUE OF CULTURES IN THE ASPECT OF GLOBALIZATION

Abstract

The article deals with the current topic of research on the role of the English language in modern intercultural communication, and the dialogue of cultures under the influence of the latest globalization processes. The purpose of this investigation was to identify and investigate the main factors that influence the transformation of the modern English language and their general features that change the process of modern dialogue of cultures. In the course of our research, it was found that the main factors are ecolinguistic, gender-neutral language and slangisms, which significantly affect the development and transformation of the English language, and they have influence on the features of the modern dialogue of cultures. They are the most important elements of the influence of globalization processes on the modern English language. Under the pressure of these processes, the English language, first of all, undergoes significant lexical transformations, because interaction with different cultures has made a significant impact on its lexical system. It was significantly enriched by various borrowings and graphic transformations of words – a modern type of abbreviation, which is often used in Internet communication, when words can be shortened to write only consonant letters. Also, the grammatical structure of the language is changing gradually. Every year, transformations change the English language more and more. On the one hand, the English language is greatly simplified in use, and on the other hand, the process of understanding it and transmitting the message is significantly complicated by the modern social features, such as gender-neutral language, slangisms, etc. The modern world tends to save people’s time, so the author of the message should express his or her thoughts as clearly and concisely as possible, so that the recipient should be able to quickly analyze the received information, understand it and convey it as short as possible in a foreign language. At the same time, take into account the cultural characteristics of the author of the message to avoid discrimination and conflict situations. Therefore, it is important to consider all these elements in the process of a dialogue of cultures.
