THE INFLUENCE OF DIGITAL DISCOURSE ON THE FORMATION OF A NEW LINGUISTIC REALITY
The article examines the influence of linguistic units originating from digital discourse on the system of the Russian literary language. The subject of the study were words, stable expressions and precedent texts, the source of which was the Internet space. The research conducted on the basis of the card index of examples of mass media discourse collected by the author allowed us to conclude that, firstly, modern Internet communication is becoming the main source of replenishment of the lexical stock. Common features of such words: computer topics, development of connotative meanings; the predominance of Anglicisms; the formation of complex words as a productive word-formation model; stylistic combination of colloquial vocabulary with book vocabulary. Secondly, the process of sustainability development is marked in the phrases from Internet communication. Thirdly, it is established that Internet texts become the basis for the emergence of a new source of precedent texts (text memes).
