Introduction

All languages change. The changes of language affect all areas of its use. There are different types of language change: phonetic changes, lexical changes, semantic changes, and syntactic changes. For centuries people have speculated about the causes of language change. The problem is not one of thinking up possible causes, but of deciding which to take seriously. There are many factors that force language to develop and change.

The current state of languages is characterized by the processes of internationalization and globalization, which led to the appearance of a special kind of names of objects, concepts and concepts simultaneously with the increased requirements for language economy, resulting in a huge layer of abbreviated vocabulary.

The causes of language change, which are necessary for the existence and development of communication, can be divided into several categories. These are 'external' and 'internal'. External sociolinguistic factors are social factors outside the language system. Internal psycholinguistic factors are linguistic and psychological factors which exist in the structure of the language and the minds of the speakers.

Many factors affect the rate of language change. The more members of the community are creative and loyal to the new and the more they use the new forms of a word or a phrase, the faster their language changes. If most members of the community try to use only correct language and preserve stability, the more slowly their language mutates. If some form of pronunciation is preferred and is used most frequently, or a figure of speech becomes the most desirable, then this form is absorbed and becomes the primary. The important thing to remember about change is that, as long as people are using a language, that language will undergo some change.

The fact that the Internet has radically changed global communication is beyond controversy. With instant access to messaging and email, the ability to circulate commentary and opinion has significantly changed the way people communicate nowadays. This has had an impact on the spoken and written language. The Internet is now an integral part of contemporary life, and linguists are increasingly studying its influence on language. However, people still debate on the scope of these changes, and whether or not they are for the better.

The paper provides an overview of research into specific features of English and Ukrainian computer slang taking into consideration its use in different spheres and the problem of its classification. Nowadays linguists all over the world are concerned about the study of so‐called computer slang.
