Abstract The article examines the modern language of the media, which is one of the most striking indicators of social change. It reflects the speech changes in all spheres of public life during the pandemic. A special role in the process of changing the language of the media is played by rapidly developing information and communication means, which is a direct reflection of the process of globalization. The article analyzes in detail the characteristic sociolinguistic markers that reflect socially significant events occurring during the pandemic. Keywords: derivation, linguoculture, media texts, occasionalisms, speech practice, speech changes, system connections, modern literary language, sociolinguistic factors, mass media (mass media), trends in linguistics, extralinguistic factors.
In modern society, it is the media and journalism, including new media, that have become the most important force that forms the modern literary language. In the context of a decline in the quality of education, a reduction in interest in reading classical literature, it is the media that has fallen to the role of the main tool for the preservation and development of the modern literary language. The daily routine of modern people is increasingly built or organized around the mass media. Mass media work for their audience, and the ideal language of a particular media should correspond to the language of the target audience [1, p. 625]. Thus, the constant participation in the creative process of those users for whom the media itself is produced, and the co-creation of professionals and non-professionals, become important characteristics of the modern audience. Mass communication can be safely called a new linguistic reality, which is located at the center of modern language processes. This is a model of a modern national language, in which its literary basis and non-literary spheres interact [3, p. 89]. The complexity of the modern language situation lies in its multidimensionality. Common language processes involve not only «old» factors, such as the interaction of functional styles, colloquial speech opposed to book speech, vernacular, dialects that have almost lost their meaning, jargons, but also new ones, for example, the Internet, the role of which will increase. In these conditions, the language of the media plays the role of a unifying factor, a kind of testing ground on which the interaction of a wide variety of means is tested and tested. Being by nature very permeable, mass communication includes everything that has a social significance. At the same time, literacy, literature is an indispensable condition for the language of the media. Numerous manuals on practical stylistics are devoted to the education of these qualities [4, p.763]. The level and nature of media language research is largely determined by the state and evolution of world linguistics, which in recent decades has been heading towards extensive development. There is a decisive turn from the study of language as a closed system to the study of lan20
