Resumen

The article is devoted to studying the development of languages under the influence of computer technology. The article aims to determine the impact of digitalization and other factors on the development of Ukrainian and English languages. The study's central hypothesis is that digital technology has significant language development. To empirically confirm this hypothesis, a survey of Internet users was organized, who expressed their opinions about the use of new words (words of foreign origin and slang words) in the process of communication. The study results showed that digital technology impacts language development, but users' vocabulary is expanding following the scope of digital technology. In particular, young people, even having a good knowledge of English, do not know business slang, while the mature generation has almost no knowledge of youth slang originating from entertainment. This study has practical significance for philologists and digital technology professionals who are looking for accessible methods of communication by expanding the speech vocabulary with words of computer origin.
