English language internationalization based on the world globalization processes

Abstract

World globalization processes have affected the use of the English language in the world. The modern means of instant information dissemination have contributed to the rapid internationalization of the English language. The process has brought the intercultural communication to a new level. The research in the field of communication between the representatives of different cultures, where the main role is played by the English language, is becoming more and more relevant. Considering the fact that the number of the English loanwords in many world languages has increased, the issue of internationalization of the language, which is due to intercultural interaction, becomes important. The emergence of the new linguistic phenomenon – the international English language – promotes the spread of the English language use in such areas as mass media, advertising, film industry, pop music, tourism, international business, etc. In the work, the linguistic analysis of the English loanwords has been carried out and the comparative analysis of the borrowing process in the Ukrainian language has been conducted over a period of time in order to identify the acquisition of the English language as a means of international communication. The characteristics of the English loanwords in the Ukrainian language of the 21st century is one of the aspects of identifying the process of English internationalization. The impact of the English language on the international communication has been studied. The task of the article is to determine the peculiarities of the English loanwords use and to analyze the consequences of the the English language spread in the world based on the development of the Ukrainian language at the beginning of the 21st century. The main hypothesis of the study was the tendency to increase the English loanwords use in the Ukrainian media space. Considering the language of mass media, the number of the loanwords used in it during the certain time in 2017 and in 2022 the globalization process has bee characterized. The specified linguistic phenomenon was analyzed in three media spaces, such as the determined number of the loanwords in the news blocks, entertainment programs and comercials. The conducted linguistic experiment has confirmed the hypothesis, which indicates the intensity of the process of the English language internationalization in the world.
