Аннотация: В статье проанализировано понятие сленга, теории происхождения данного термина, его отличие от жаргона, а также функции и способы образования в современном английском языке. Целью исследования является рассмотрение особенностей функционирования компьютерной лексики, в частности компьютерного сленга, как языкового явления, которое оказывает активное влияние на развитие языка. Анализу подверглись также структурные особенности компьютерного сленга, его виды, продуктивные способы образования в современном английском языке и приемы перевода с английского языка на русский. Актуальность настоящей работы обусловлена спецификой и сложностью функционирования компьютерного сленга, особенностями рассматриваемых лексических единиц, а также недостаточной изученностью данной темы. В частности, в теоретической литературе отсутствуют монографические работы, посвященные этой теме. В ходе работы над темой исследования использовались такие методы, как анализ, синтез, обобщение, сравнение, метод сплошной выборки, а также метод опроса. В рамках исследования был проведен опрос студентов с целью выявления роли компьютерного сленга в жизни современного человека. Новизна заключается в обосновании роли информационных технологий в различных сферах жизни человека, в том числе в авиационной отрасли, и необходимости системного изучения сленговых единиц в англоязычном Интернет-сообществе. Проведенное исследование позволило сделать вывод о возрастании роли компьютерного сленга в жизни современного общества. Так, если раньше компьютерный сленг использовался преимущественно программистами и IT-специалистами, то сейчас он распространён среди широкой аудитории и активно влияет на повседневную речь, формируя новую коммуникационную среду. Все это обуславливает важность исследования компьютерного сленга, которое заключается не только в изучении его лексики, способов образования и перевода с одного языка на другой, но и в анализе социальных, культурных и технологических процессов, влияющих на его развитие.

Abstract: The article studies the definition of slang, the origin of this term, its difference from jargon, as well as the functions and methods of its formation in Modern English. The aim of the study is to consider the functioning peculiarities of computer vocabulary, in particular computer slang. Structural features of computer slang, its types, productive ways of forming and methods of translation from English into Russian are also analyzed. The relevance of this work is due to the specifics and complexity of the functioning of computer slang in Modern English, to the peculiarities of the lexical units under consideration, as well as the lack of research papers on this topic. In particular, there are no monographic works devoted to this topic in the theoretical literature. The novelty lies in substantiating the role of information technologies in various spheres of human life, including the aviation industry and the need for a systematic study of slang units in the English-speaking online community. During the research such methods as analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison and sampling, as well as survey, were used. As part of the study, a survey of students was conducted in order to identify the role of computer slang in the life of a modern person. The research carried out in the article allowed to underline the increasing role of computer slang in the life of modern society. If earlier computer slang was used mainly by programmers and IT specialists, now it is widespread among a wide audience and actively influences everyday speech, forming a new communicative environment. All this makes it important to consider computer slang, which consists not only in studying its vocabulary, methods of forming and translation from one language to another, but also in analyzing the social, cultural and technological processes that influence its development.

Аннотация: This article is devoted to the peculiarities of functioning composite sentences in English aviation texts. The subject matter of this research is types of complex sentences in modern English and the means of connecting main and subordinate parts of these sentences. Research in the article is done on the basis of scientific and journalistic styles. Special attention is paid to the general characteristics of lexical and grammatical features of these two text styles. In the article, a comparative analysis of different types of subordinate clauses is made and difficulties in translating them from English into Russian are analyzed. In her research, Meldianova applies the following research methods: description used to define, interpret and classify complex sentences; and comparison used to analyze types of syndetic words and subordinating conjunctions in complex sentences. The novelty of this research consists in the conducted for the first time complex study of means of connecting sentences within a composite sentence on the basis of English aviation texts of scientific and journalistic styles.

Аннотация: The article is devoted to the peculiarities of functioning the continuous form in the English language. The semantics of this form does not allow to use some verbs the meaning of which contradicts the idea of process. Recently there has been a tendency towards increase in the number of such verbal forms used in the continuous form and this is what makes this study perspective. The aim of the article is to analyze the semantic selectivity of the continuous forms and lexical and grammatical factors under which some verbs of different semantics acquire the possibility to be used in the continuous form. Lexical and grammatical factors are discribed in the article and their contribution to the general meaning of the sentence is pointed out. In her research Meldianova applies the following research methods: description used to define, interpret and classify the meaning of verbs under study; and comparison used to analyze various semantic groups of verbs. Linguists have quite contradictory views on the meaning of the continuous form of verbs. Some of them believe that continous verbs denote a specific kind of verbs and describe an action that is being performed at the moment. Others believe that the continous form expresses a temporal meaning, in particular, simultaneity with some point in time or action. Researchers haven't come to the agreement regarding semantics and particular functions of the continous form in modern English. Moreover, the number of verbs that can be used in the continuous form is constantly growing and their meanings change under the influence of various intra- and extralinguistic context. This creates the novelty of this research. The results of the research prove that verbs of different semantics can be used in the continous form in modern English.
