- The subject of our research work is to study the problem of borrowing the words in the modern Russian language.
- The objects of our research are the anglicisms functioning in the local press and in teenagers’ speech.
- The purpose of our work is to find information about borrowing words which occurred in Russian language from English and make an analysis of the problem of loanwords .
The hypothesis
English borrowings have an impact on the cultural life and language behavior of young people, the use of anglicisms in the press, in many cases impractical because it complicates the perception of the text, prevents an understanding of its essence.
The relevance of this research and scientific novelty
- The study of using loan words is very important for many reasons. We study anglicisms not only for the sake of anglicisms themselves. They give us an opportunity to gain a deeper insight into our own language.
- We study various sources containing anglicisms and their impact on young people of a single school .
The practical importance
- Possibility of using the results of the research work at lessons of Russian and English, and also at further research of foreign loans.
The research tasks are
- to present historical review of the problem of borrowing
- to find different types of anglicisms and suggest the appropriate reasons for borrowings
- to hold an experiment and answer the question: “What types of anglicisms are most popular today in Russian press?”
- to hold an experiment and answer the question: “What types of anglicisms are used more often by teenagers?”
- to find out positive and negative aspects of borrowing from English into Russian language.
Borrowings from English into Russian language
The reasons for using anglicisms.
- historical contacts between people of different nationalities;
- the lack of corresponding concepts in the language. For example, these are words “Scanner”, “Touchpad”, “Laptop”.
- the necessity to name new objects and facts (like taxi, robot);
- the language fashion, it is international language, and it is no wonder that it becomes popular both in East European countries and countries of Asia and Near East;
The reasons for using anglicisms .

The impact of borrowed words on Russian language
- The process of word-stock formation is very long-drawn-out and complicated. It is also closely connected with the history of a nation. Russian vocabulary in its modern state did not appear at once.
- Interesting fact: almost all words on letter “Ф” in Russian were borrowed .
We found 48 words and divided them into four groups: work and politics, culture, sports and science.
