The problem of the speech norm and deviations from it in various forms of communication will never lose its relevance. Firstly, linguistic rationing is included in the sphere of state regulation aimed at stabilizing it, and, secondly, variation in the norm is an inevitable consequence of the impact of a dynamically developing speech pattern. The article discusses the problem of the multiple of factors that cause deviations from the speech norm (standard) and their mutual influences. The attention primarily focuses on the interaction of interlingual interference and internal trends in the development of language in its various forms. The problem is considered on the example of deviations from the speech standard in case forms in the regional version of the Russian language – in the spoken language of Shor-Russian bilinguals. The variability of the case forms is caused by the wide spread of bilingualism in the region and the substrate influence of the mother languages on the speech practices of bilinguals speaking Russian. The analysis model presented in the article can be applied to other linguistic contacts and intra-lingual interactions. The source of the material is the Shor subcorpus of the Corpus of Russian oral speech of Turkic-Russian bilinguals (RuTuBic). The corpus includes morphological annotation, common for linguistically marked corpuses, as well as marking of deviations from the speech standard. The model was tested on the material of interview records of 11 respondents (15 hours). The main sources of deviations from the speech standard are the interference of the Shor language, the dialectal influence of Siberian Russian dialects, structures of colloquial speech, active tendencies of Russian grammar, and discursive and genre features of speech.

This paper focuses on a special form of English borrowing: the use of acronyms with phraseological meaning. The Russian computer language, more precisely the Russian computer slang, is unthinkable without the influence of English. This influence is manifested at various language levels and in a variety of forms (borrowings, calques and half-calques, univerbats, reverse derivatives, alphabetic and alphanumeric abbreviations, “distorted forms” of both full names and acronyms). Based on the English abbreviations, first the meaning of the respective full form is explained in English and then its fate is illustrated in the Russian host language. Comparison with German, which also borrowed a large number of such abbreviations, shows similarities and differences in the processing of these phraseological units. The term “digital communication” here refers not only to communication on the Internet in a narrower sense (chats, forums, e-mail, etc.), but also to such channels as SMS, Twitter, WhatsApp, and others. The Internet plays a double role in the development of the modern Russian language: firstly, as a means of mass communication that provides an opportunity to popularize new linguistic phenomena in the shortest possible time and with maximum range, and secondly, as a generator of new linguistic forms that would be impossible without the Internet itself. One part of these neologisms refers to the technical features of digital communication and the tools necessary for it, while the other part refers to the implementation of a new communicative style that is clearly different from analogue communication in its oral and written forms.

The author considers the correlation between grammar and pragmatics as a problem of functional linguistics. The discussion focuses on pragmatic restrictions concerning the use of grammatical forms, i.e., the extent to which the grammatical meaning corresponds to the characteristics of speech acts. In this respect, the author analyzes Russian imperfective verbs in the second person of indicative. The analysis of the material collected from the Internet corpus of the Russian language demonstrates that the verbs in the 2nd person form are rarely used to implement the representative (assertive) speech acts. However, the use of verbs of the 2nd person in the general-personal, indefinite-personal and in the meaning of the 1st person is very common. The author concludes that the pragmatic-cultural factor is decisive in limiting the use of the verbs in the 2nd person form.

The author presents an endevour to comprehend the culture of Russian as a foreign language on the ecological angle - as an integral part of the surrounding polylingual speech environment. An ecological approach to the culture of the verbal multimodal sphere of communication implies commitment to national linguistic traditions, fostering an effective love for the past, present and future of the Russian language.The article actualizes the topic of linguistic ecology, in which a culture of thinking and communicative speech behavior in a polylingual environment arises, fostering a linguistic taste, protecting, enriching and improving the literary language and speech aesthetics. Studying modern active processes leading to democratization and liberalization of the Russian language, the author highlights the influence of the Internet and media language styles as key trendsetters of modern rhetorical trends, foreign borrowings and the expanding detabooing of abusive language patterns. Concluding that bridging communication gaps is the responsibility of linguistic ecologists, the author gives a brief thesaurus of linguo-ecological terms that show the creative nature of communication. The article also accentuates that the ecology of language and the ecology of culture are becoming the advanced and central national challenges of our time. Keywords: ecological aspect, polylingual speech environment, linguistic ecology, communication gaps, linguistic taste, speech aesthetics, state mission of our time

The paper discusses the linguistic impact of Brexit on the Russian-language Internet discourse as this event has generated a myriad of neologisms in English. The present study aims to identify the composition of Brexit-induced neologisms whose source word is -exit and to describe the features of the reception of the analyzed units at the morphological and word-formation levels in the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet. The subject of the research is an assimilation of the Brexit model in the Russian language. The findings of this study indicate that the features of the reception of -exit derivatives in the Russian language were revealed in the aspect of the morphemization of the -exit component.

Introduction. Now many people believe that any information can be found on the Internet: the interpretation of words, the selection of synonyms or antonyms, the meaning of phraseologisms, translation from one language to another. Yes, it is possible, but the information received over the Internet is not always correct. Therefore, we believe that only in dictionaries can one find reliable, accurate information.The methods. Comparative training presupposes students' readiness to work with dictionaries of the Kazakh language, and on the basis of these skills, a readiness is formed to work with dictionaries of the Russian language. Solving the tasks of forming a multilingual personality, it is necessary to develop the need for students to constantly use dictionaries in order to improve language competence, enrich vocabulary, and independently perform language and speech tasks. For the implementation of intersubject communications in Russian and native languages, an implicit and explicit comparison of universal and specific phenomena of the native and studied languages was used. Results. One of the main goals of studying the Russian language in a school with the Kazakh language of instruction is to master its lexical wealth. Work with the dictionary of the Russian language should begin by repeating information about the identical dictionary of the Kazakh language, with which they are already familiar from the lessons of their native language. After consolidating knowledge of the dictionary of the Kazakh language (consolidation is carried out in the form of questions and answers and completing practical tasks), the teacher can turn to the dictionary of the Russian language. Such use of dictionaries in Russian language lessons in schools with the Kazakh language of instruction not only expands the vocabulary of students, but also helps to increase their level of knowledge of the Russian language, broadens their horizons in general and knowledge of the theory of language in particular, develops skills in working with books, as well as in general their oral and written speech activity. The scientific novelty of the research results. A review and analysis of scientific literature revealed that all methodologists are unanimous in the usefulness and necessity of using dictionaries in the educational process of the school. Types and types of work with dictionaries proposed and developed by specialists at the school are scientifically based and convincing. However, no techn-?que is universal. Each contingent, school, class require their own methodology, interpretation, since national traditions, way of thinking, perception of the world are specific. Therefore, work with dictionaries in schools with the Kazakh language of instruction also requires its scientific justification, the development of its own methodology, namely, training in the use of Russian dictionaries in comparison with dictionaries of the Kazakh language. Conclusion When teaching the Russian language dictionaries, we, based on the principle of interconnected teaching of Russian and Kazakh languages on the material of the dictionaries of the Russian and Kazakh languages, familiarized ourselves with the Russian language dictionary preceded by a repetition of the identical Kazakh language dictionary. Using a concrete example (lecture lesson plan), we showed how the principle of interconnected teaching of Russian and Kazakh languages is implemented on the basis of material from the dictionaries of Russian and Kazakh languages.

This article focuses on language transfer as a fundamental factor in the construction of postsocialist network technosociality. By looking at the early days of the Internet in Russia and the current landscape of the Russian-language cyberspace, it demonstrates that excessive translation activity becomes an essential tool of postsocialist integration with global network economies and cultures. At the center of this activity is voice-over, a form of “half dubbing” and a dominant screen translation practice on the Runet. While this article explores the histories and defining features of performance and labor of this practice, it argues that the voice-over translation is a mode of connectivity that exposes the centrality of asynchrony and distortion to postsocialist networking as well as to the network as such.
