Features of virtual communication as a new field of communication

Abstract

The Internet has brought into our life previously non-existent ways of communication and new forms of language existence. With the growing popularity of social networks, the functioning of the English language has attracted the interest of many linguists. Modernization of the linguistic personality takes place in conjunction with the development of a virtual picture of the world, which reproduces life in the vastness of the Internet. Values replace each other. If earlier language education was popular, today it is computer education. That is why a tendency has arisen to explain in a simplified language, which contradicts the norms of traditional communication. Moreover, the leading role in virtual communication belongs to the English language, since the birthplace of the Internet and the main supplier of network terminology is English-speaking America.
