Research paper on the Russian language "Albany language": is it necessary to fight it? Report: Padonkaf language or Albanian language.

The method of writing in a given position is chosen to be the one that does not correspond to the spelling norm - use A instead of unstressed O and vice versa, interchange of unstressed And, e And I, cc or ts instead of ts, ts, ds, Also wow And shi, why And now instead of live And shi, cha And now, sch instead of sch and vice versa, yea, yo, yu instead of initial ones I, e, Yu, interchange of voiceless and voiced at the end of a word or before voiceless ( crosafcheg), and instead of f can be used in this position ff(modeled on the old Western European transmission of surnames like Smirnoff). It is also common to merge words together without a space ( LOL). In other words, this is an “anti-norm” based on a consistent (or close to it) rejection of the existing normative choice of spellings (that is, in order to write in the jargon of bastards, you actually need to master the existing norm). In addition, means that violate the graphic principles of reading are used less frequently: the interchange of voiceless and voiced not only at the end of a word ( dafai), as well as hard and soft (for example, bear). The latter phenomena are lexicalized (associated with specific words).

Why? This is LiveJournal. American site, not Albanian. And I know that you speak two languages. Plus, being an American means the rest of the world has to adjust to me. But this is just my point of view.

In response, a flash mob called Albanian Lessons was organized in the Russian-language section of LiveJournal, which aimed to help an American learn Russian. In a couple of days scottishtiger received several thousand comments with “Albanian lessons” and just flood. The user was asked to apologize and write a post in his journal (in Russian) stating that he had already learned the Albanian language, that scottishtiger , in the end, he did. Perhaps only because, in addition to the magazine and mailbox, I received a huge number of SMS messages and calls on my mobile phone.

First Albanian lessons:

First lesson. About the letter X. X. This is an important Albanian letter of the Russian alphabet. The fucking Albanian national word “dick” begins with it. The word is popular among the people and is often used. ...
A is the most important letter Alphabet. The name of a country no less fucked up than Albania begins with it - namely America.

After some time, it reduced its activity (including turning off comments) due to incessant uncontrolled flooding, and then ceased to exist altogether (the decision to delete its blog had nothing to do with the “Learn Albanian” campaign). Currently blog scottishtiger restored by the old owner, although started from scratch (that is, all old records were deleted). Initially, the expression “learn Albanian” had nothing to do with the so-called “bastards”; it was borrowed later.

Albanian on Madonna's blog

Madonna was also urged to learn “Albanian” after she, using a translation program, greeted her Russian fans, calling them “fans” (English. fan- fan/fan/hairdryer, fan/fan):

For my Russian fans. I want to personally welcome you to my blog. I love you guys! You are the best! Don't forget to buy my new album Confessions on the Dance Field. Express it. Don't suppress. I noticed your presence here. I will remember your kindness.

Later they helped her correct the translation.

Historical coincidences

Poet and futurist artist Ilyazd in 1916, long before the advent of the “language of bastards,” he wrote an entire play in the spelling-incorrect Russian language mixed with abstruse language, called “Izyk Albanskay.”
In 1997, Alexander Prokhanov published an article in his newspaper “Zavtra”: “Russian, learn Albanian! »

Story

The style, based on deliberately incorrect spelling, spread spontaneously on the Internet as a grotesque reaction to numerous spelling errors in Internet publications and remarks. It is believed that the appearance of padonkaff jargon on the Internet was due to the activities of Dmitry Sokolovsky, the administrator of the site udaff.com, better known as “Boa Constrictor.” In 2000, he began writing for a site with the self-explanatory names fuck.ru and fuckru.net, and then opened the site udaff.com, where he publishes his own and other people’s texts, in which sex, food and feces prevail, and swear words are widely used . According to Sokolovsky himself, the first to distort words on the site fuck.ru was the author, who spoke under the nickname Linxy. Then for a long time he supported the well-known countercultural website down-culture.ru, which currently does not exist. In honor of Linksy, this language was originally called L-language.

They began to call it “Albanian” after an Internet flash mob provoked by an American user of LiveJournal, who had the imprudence to ask a Russian-speaking LiveJournal user “what kind of language is this” in which he writes on the pages of his online diary, and then demand that he he kept notes in English on the grounds that LiveJournal is supposedly an “American site.” This post in the community quickly received a huge number of comments, most of which were openly sarcastic (including the famous answer to an American’s question about the language of the mentioned diary - “Albanian”). Russian LiveJournal users, as part of the flash mob, also began to leave many similar comments on the posts of the American author, and ultimately he was forced to temporarily delete his magazine.

The predecessor of the Padonki language is the language of the Kaschenites, a special group of people who lived in the Fidonet echo conference SU.KASCHENKO.LOCAL. It was the Kaschenites who first came up with the idea of writing deliberately incorrectly. At different times, the language of the Kaschenites changed, and an already established version of the language ended up on the Internet, already under the name “language of the bastards”. The language practically did not develop on the Internet, but it gave rise to many stable expressions.

A follower of the language of bastards can be considered the language of Upyachka, although this “language” is too specific: basically it is a mixture of several individual words that for the most part do not carry a semantic load, for example: “Zhep ebrilo”, “Chocho”, “Adinadinadin” and etc.

Spreading

The style became widespread on the Internet, and the deliberate obscenity and cynicism of the style receded, causing the areas of use to expand significantly. The language of bastards became widespread with the advent of blogs on the Internet, in which “bastards” left their “comments” (comments). Jargon had a strong influence on the development of the language cliches of LiveJournal, which gave rise to a number of common “comments”, such as “pervyynakh” (first comment), “afftar zhzhot”, “kill apsten”, “drink yada”, “zachot”, “hellish soton” ", etc. In accordance with the described norms, English words from the general Internet vocabulary, elements of slang and original expressions were also included in the jargon.

Currently, the jargon of “bastards” is gradually moving from virtual life to real life. More and more often it can be found in advertising and on store windows (not to mention graffiti). And even in the headlines of analytical articles, for example: Among supporters of purity of speech, slang is extremely unpopular and is subject to obstruction.

In popular culture

References to the slang of bastards in literature, music, and cinema are not uncommon.

The parody group “The Nepodarki” performs songs in the slang of bastards.

In the song “Grandma Asked” by the group “Lilies of the Valley” there are the lines:

About this unique phenomenon
I told Gordon in my spare time
Gordon answered me on a fashionable hairdryer:
“Burn, bitch!”

In Victor Pelevin's work Helm of Horror, the character S"liff_zoSSchitan spoke the Padonkaf language.

Possible prototypes

Transfer from e To yo and from I To yea represents a process that is partly the reverse of the historical process of the emergence of these letters: the letter “e” was introduced in 1783 as a replacement for “io”, and “ya” (or rather, its predecessors yus small and aiotated) appeared as the ligatures εν and ıa, respectively . However, the phonetic meaning of the small yus when it appeared was different (e is nasal, not ja), and in addition, iotated vowels and io were also used after consonants (where they meant one sound), which is not always typical for the padonki language.

Phonetically correct, but spelling incorrect writing (the so-called “illiterate letter”) has existed since the phonetic changes of the 14th-15th centuries. (the appearance of akanya, hardening of hissing words, deafening of final words, simplification of combinations), which made possible graphically correct entries that do not correspond to the etymological spelling accepted in book writing (no matter how wide its norms were in different periods before the stabilization of Russian spelling in the middle of the 19th century). In everyday writing (letters, private letters, graffiti), especially among people not associated with the church or literature (even high-ranking ones), such graphics have always been in wide circulation; for example, Peter I wrote to his mother, Tsarina Natalya Kirillovna: And I, thank God, besides this I won’t force myself to do anything else and will go as far as I can; and Andursky<Гамбургские>there have never been any ships yet. Therefore, my joy, hello, and I live with your prayers. Unlike the language of bastards, such graphics are not deliberate in nature, but are usually associated with incomplete mastery of the book’s spelling norm; accordingly, the task of consistently repelling from it is not set (thus, at the end of a word in “illiterate writing” it will be written much more often - To, how - G, in accordance with the real pronunciation, and a special replacement for the spelling - To on - G will not be; it is possible only in cases of hypercorrection).

Hasan Huseynov “Den of the Weblog.” Introduction to erratic semantics // “We speak Russian”, March 2005 - the first attempt to determine the cultural function of the “language of bastards” (which the author also inaccurately calls “goblins” and “boas”). For the first time, a term was proposed to define the word distortion typical of the “language of bastards” - errative. For the first time in paper printing, the topic of erratives is discussed in the article:

Interest in the study of youth slang arose as early as the slang itself.

The famous Dahl Dictionary provides even more data on this topic. It presents the following types of jargon: the language of the ofeni (wandering merchants-peddlers) as the language of a “professional group”, the bike language (the language of urban pickpockets) as a cross between the language of a professional group and thieves’ argot, and the language of declassed representatives of society, which is completely incomprehensible to the uninitiated ( thieves, beggars, etc.)

After the revolution, new works began to appear, mainly devoted to the “new proletarian language.” In 1918, the Institute of the Living Word was opened, dealing with the problems of social dialectology. Here we can name such works as the article by G. Vinogradov “Children’s thieves’ language (Argot)” (1926), the report by S. Ya Kaporsky “Thieves’ jargon among schoolchildren: Based on materials from a survey of Yaroslavl schools” (1927), the dictionary “From the vocabulary of Rostov street children and tramps" (1929).

But by the mid-30s, this topic was declared “unworthy of attention” and interest slowly subsided. The jargon of thieves and criminals was more or less described, but the research was carried out not by linguists, but by legal professionals, and often there was little practical value for “non-lawyers”

A significant part of spoken language is slang, or jargon, which plays a huge role in language learning. Youth slang is of greatest interest. The special form of communication of the younger generation has not lost and is not losing its relevance and attractiveness.

Young people as a social group of society have always tried to oppose themselves to the world of adults. In addition, the rivalry that always exists between individual youth groups most clearly reflects the nature of social development. Jargon, used in special forms of verbal communication characteristic of young people, becomes relevant for various reasons. In one case, slang is a sign of a protest reaction to social contradictions and life’s adversities; in another, it is a sign of potential aggressiveness, readiness for an open clash. Rivalry between representatives of different social groups is accompanied by competition in linguistic forms and communication styles. Therefore, group and intergroup communication between representatives of different social groups is the environment in which a new lifestyle and a new language are born.

The history of youth slang goes back not tens of years, and not even centuries, but millennia. The study of ancient Russian monuments leads us to the conclusion that even in those distant times, when the Russian language was just emerging, jargon already existed.

The explanatory dictionary of the Russian language gives the following definition: “jargon is the speech of some social or other group united by common interests, containing many words and expressions different from the common language, including artificial, sometimes conventional.”

Slang (jargon, argot) is a type of speech used primarily in oral communication of a separate, relatively stable social group that unites people based on profession, position in society, interests or age; part of colloquial vocabulary, reflecting a rudely familiar, sometimes humorous attitude towards the subject of speech. Having become commonly used, these words and phraseological units often retain an emotional and evaluative character. Elements of slang either quickly disappear from use or become part of the literary language, leading to the emergence of subtle stylistic and semantic differences.

Thus, we can highlight the main prerequisites for the emergence of youth slang:

The desire of a separate group, in this case, young people, to limit themselves, to distance themselves, to close themselves off from the world around them. With a special form of communication they express their protest not only against linguistic but also against social norms;

Aim to create a simple, free, informal, relaxed atmosphere of communication;

The desire to express yourself more original, more fashionable, more beautiful, funnier, more disgraceful;

Following the speech patterns of the native environment, the prevailing fashion, the desire to be like everyone else;

The desire to create something new, your own, personal;

The desire of young people to speak out, to produce the so-called emotional “release” during aggression or stressful situations;

Jargon, according to people who use it, is more economical and convenient than literary language. Slang, unlike the norm, is capable of expressing thoughts more clearly, more flexibly and more specifically.

Chapter II. "Padonkaf jargon" and the Albanian language

I would like to highlight the so-called “Bastard Jargon” - a style of using the Russian language that spread in Runet at the beginning of the 21st century with phonetically adequate, but deliberately incorrect spelling of words (errative), frequent use of obscenities and certain cliches characteristic of slangs. It is most often used when writing comments on texts in blogs, chat rooms and online forums.

The new century is only eight years old, but a special Russian language of the 21st century has already appeared. Moreover, for the first time, a language arose not spontaneously, but as a result of the purposeful activity of enthusiasts. And for the first time - first in written form - on the Internet, and from it new words and expressions began to be adopted by oral speech.

Until now, the Russian language has changed in any way - borrowing foreign words, generating new ones, through “barbarization” - but not with the help of the Internet. Now it’s time for a computer update of native speech. And the Network immediately gave us a whole dictionary, which has already hit the streets. The so-called “author’s” vocabulary appears on the streets in the form of outdoor advertisements, and expressions like “the author is, as they say, a joke” are often used by DJs of music radio stations. The harmless words “animal” or “Bobruisk” cause at least a smile among Internet regulars. And one of the recent cases of the appearance of “aftarisms” in the socio-political life of the country can be called significant. This was, perhaps, the first case when Internet slang so quickly left the virtual space and began to be used in real life, because the word “preved” itself and the history of its wild popularity are at most a month and a half old.

The word “preved” became widespread as a result of the appearance in the collective blog Dirty.Ru of the Russian edition of the film “Bear Surprise” by John Lurie in February 2006. The painting depicts a bear who caught tourists having sex in nature; the bear raised its front paws up and said: “Preved!” (original: "Surprise!"). The picture and the phrase gave rise to a surge of creative activity on the RuNet, which gave rise to new errative cliches (including secondary erratives) and styles of distortion

Secondary erratives are usually difficult-to-pronounce hypercorrections of the supposed primary errative. For example, “handsome” does not go back to the normative “handsome”, but to its supposed errative “handsome”.

Among the main new stamps are “Preved”, “Krosavcheg”, “Kagdila?”, “Uchasneg”. The bear depicted in the painting is called "Bear".

Typical changes made to speech to give a “Medvedov” sound include:

· “I” in an unstressed position turns into “E”, and the consonant at the end is voicing: privet - preveD.

· “A” in an unstressed position turns into “O”, and the suffix “CHIK” into the suffix “CHEG”: krasavchik - krosavcheg.

· Voiceless consonants at the end of a word and before other voiceless consonants in the middle of a word turn into voiced ones: Pushkin - PuZhken, participant - participation.

For a long time, “afftars” and “Bobruiski” were words whose meaning was understood only by “our own people.” The use of slang elements in a conversation increased the degree of trust in the interlocutor’s words. Now that advertisers and politicians are in the game, the power of the word will be used to gain youth support.

In many cases, the “padonkaf language” is unjustifiably equated with a more specific dialect that gave rise to vocabulary in the style "preved", the so-called Albanian language. The first arose and developed in an environment with a strong influence of taboo vocabulary and actually originated as an attempt to somewhat disguise invective when transmitting texts on sites that require somewhat greater compliance with literary norms (as a method of substituting letters)

The second type (“preved”), primarily involving decorative processing of phonetics, originated on entertainment sites (undoubtedly strongly influenced by the “Padonkaf” tradition, but, nevertheless, completely independent).

It should also be noted the strong influence on the development of language stamps LiveJournal, which gave rise to a number of widespread “comments” (such stamps are used very limitedly on Udaff.com, in fact reduced to “fdisyatka” and “niipet”, due to the fact that the literary tradition of Udaff.com, despite external freedom, makes a number of demands to the author of the posting).

Chapter III. History and development

The style of phonetically adequate, but deliberately incorrect spelling appeared on the Internet spontaneously, as a grotesque reaction to numerous spelling errors in Internet publications and remarks. It is believed that the appearance of bastard slang on the Internet was due to the activities of Dmitry Sokolovsky, the administrator of the site udaff.com, better known as “Boa Constrictor.” There is a common belief that he is an electrical engineer. However, in an interview he stated that he was an electrician only by training and had never worked as one. In 2000, he began writing for a website with the self-explanatory name fuck.ru, and then opened the website udaff.com, where he publishes his own and other people’s texts, in which the bodily bottom prevails, and the widespread use of obscenities is also striking. According to Sokolovsky himself, the first to distort words on the website fuck.ru was the author, who spoke under the pseudonym Linxy. Then for a long time he supported the well-known counter-cultural website down.ru, which currently does not exist. In honor of Linksy, this “language” was originally called the L-language, and was later renamed “Albanian”, as is now usually called “bastards”. Proponents of this style call themselves “bastards.” The style became widespread on the Internet, and the deliberate obscenity and cynicism of the style receded, causing the areas of use to expand significantly. The article by G. Guseinov (2000), who introduced the concept of errative, contains links to online publications by Dmitry Galkovsky, who already in the plays of the 1990s widely used the style that the authors of the sites udaff.com and fuck.ru subsequently strived for. The peculiarities of the style of "bastards" consist in a deliberate violation of the spelling norms of the Russian language in the direction of phonetic writing ("decorative transcriptions") - first of all, in the displacement of phonetically adequate forms towards spelling incorrect ones - the use of "a" instead of the unstressed "o" and vice versa, “i” instead of unstressed “e” and vice versa, “tsts” instead of “ts”, “ts”, “ds”, also “zhy” and “shy” instead of “zhi” and “shi”, “sch” instead of “sch " and vice versa, "ya" instead of the initial "ya", "f" or "ff" instead of "v", the opposite use of voiced and voiceless consonants, as well as in merging words together without a space. It should be noted that replacing phonetically adequate words with distorted ones (for example, preved or crosafcheg) rather refers to the vocabulary of “preveda” than to the jargon of “bastards” . A similar phenomenon occurred (and continues) in American English, when styles and jargons arose in order to simplify the very phonetically inadequate literary English - see, for example, the names of the discs and individual songs of the group "Slade". In accordance with the described norms, the jargon English words from the general Internet vocabulary, elements of slang and original expressions were also included. The language of bastards became widespread with the advent of blogs on the Internet, in which “bastards” left their “kamenty” (comments). It must be said that the “Padonkavian” dialect itself ultimately originates precisely from Fido: around the end of December 1998, the echo conference SU.KASCHENKO.LOCAL began to spread (whose participants and their followers are called Kaschenites), taking its name from the famous " Kashchenki" (also known as the Alekseev Psychiatric Hospital). Unlike the “TVN people” (participants of the conference IT’S ALL ABOUT US HERE) and the “bastards” who chose the “bottom of the body” as the main theme of their creativity, the Kaschenites were dominated by “black humor”, jokes about the most sacred. Another main topic is Jewry: one of the targets of the Kaschenites has traditionally been online nationalists. Yes, and subscribers who practice ordinary everyday anti-Semitism, presumably, were especially irritated by letters with a “pseudo-Jewish” accent.

Jewish themes, colliding with a love of black humor, resulted in variations on the theme of the Holocaust ovens. Network old-timers will immediately remember the expressions “ftopku” and “fgasenvagen” (for more details, see the description of the corresponding expressions).

Throughout its history, the objects of mockery in “Kashchenka” have been people with diverse interests: fans of Decl and Lena Zosimova, the groups “Metallica”, “Aria” and “Tatu”, fascists, Satanists (led by Warrax) and many, many other. All these waves successively enriched folklore with different words and expressions, some of which spilled out beyond SKL into Fido and further onto the Internet. For example, the word “soton” owes its appearance in the slang of scum to correspondence in SU.MUSIC.HEAVY&DEATH, many of whose subscribers did not study well at school and made mistakes even in such a simple word. However, the word “Sotona” itself, contrary to general misconception, has a completely natural origin (due to the different perception of vowels among Sephardi Jews and Ashkenazi Jews, in Ashkenazi pronunciation Satan was read as “Sotona”) The theme of “Sotonism” was continued by the parody rock band " AZTSKAYA SOTONA" (sic!), invented by SU.MUSIC.HEAVY&DEATH subscriber Ilya Prutov, but then firmly entrenched in Kaschen folklore. The group, according to its fictional history, gave exactly one concert, during which it burned down along with the House of Culture in which it took place. The situation was aggravated by the fact that subsequently unknown pranksters created a website for this group, from which you can even download songs. Who joked like that is still unknown. And the name of the group in the modern Internet lexicon has passed into the masculine gender and has become a common noun (if “aftar zhzhot”, then, apparently, aftar is “hellish soton”, everything is correct). Another from the same stream is the work of Pavel Skolota, who at one time enriched the OBEC.3BOH conference, intended for the works of beginning authors, with poems in the spirit of “I will kill everyone (in the name of Sotona), I will remain alone.” Poems in this style are called “knolotikov”; the vocabulary of a modern Settler owes them to the appearance of the words “mochet” (a modified “machete”), “hew,” and “zohavat.”

Currently, the jargon of “bastards” is gradually moving from virtual life to real life. More and more often it can be found in advertising and on store windows (not to mention graffiti).

Typically, philologists are quite calm about youth jargon, arguing: when they grow up, everyone forgets about “huts” and “shoes.” But the “Albanian” language causes them much more fear. “Young people who prefer to express themselves in so-called “Albanian” are robbing themselves,” says Marina Degtyareva, “It is impossible to write “preved” and “medved” every day, and then easily switch to the scientific style of an essay or diploma. It is impossible to constantly express your thoughts and emotions with the help of speech clichés, and then, when circumstances require it, to speak beautifully, competently, freely. A person with eyes callused with “ashipka” will not perceive all the charm of classical literature. And, of course, one cannot expect literacy from him when writing. It has long been noticed: some Moscow schoolchildren make fewer mistakes when speaking or writing in English than in Russian. Mangling words will inevitably aggravate the situation with literacy. A hand accustomed to incorrect spelling will then automatically “give” an error. For some It could cost you your career."

It is estimated that more than 25 million Russians access RuNet every month, and the number of users is growing. Students and high school students learn a new language the fastest, followed by middle and even elementary school students who begin to babble in Internet slang. “There is nothing surprising in this,” says Maya Dushkina, candidate of psychological sciences, associate professor at the Russian State Social University. “Children, teenagers and older children have always had a desire to isolate themselves from the “adult”, generally accepted culture and stand out in some way. A subculture is a method of identification, group and personal, designating the place of the “user" in the coordinate system of society as a whole. The purpose of this process is to designate and affirm one’s Self, to achieve the desired self-identity. This is what every bearer of a subculture, manifesting, wants to achieve with his “previous authors” his own advancement, modernity, dedication. “I’m in the know, I’m involved, I’m on the crest of a wave” - this is the message that he sends to everyone and everything.” This opinion is shared by Marina Degtyareva, Associate Professor of the Department of Modern Russian Language at Moscow State Regional University: “Slang is a kind of password, thanks to which it immediately becomes clear who is “us” and who is “stranger.” A common language allows those who speak it to feel that they belong to general team. Each generation of young people had their own special words. Fifteen years ago, boys, approving a friend’s bike or a new film, said “cool!”, five years ago this word was replaced by “cool!”, more recently it could be replaced “I wish I could hear “steering!” But now, most likely, the young man will say: “Zachot!” The spread of the Internet should inevitably have given rise to its own language, dictated by the style of conversation.”

This style implies that the virtual person must be able to speak quickly and at the same time be original. If there is not enough gunpowder for interesting thoughts, then you should flaunt your manner of expression. The bar for creativity in the online community that speaks the “Albanian” language is at a fairly low level, because something truly original is regularly replaced by emotional clichés.

Not the entire Internet community has happily switched to “Albanian”. Several actions took place, the meaning of which is united by the motto “I can speak Russian!” Signs “I am writing in Russian, please do not disturb “Afftaram””, “I want to read texts in correct Russian” adorned many diaries of live journals and personal pages of users. Some not very literate schoolchildren, who, however, entered the struggle for the purity of the Russian language, suddenly sat down with explanatory dictionaries, so as not to accidentally “blurt out” something on their live journal page and not be ridiculed by the “bear” who wandered there. It’s just for this that the “animal” is worth shaking his “lab”.

Introduction.

The relevance of the topic chosen for research and the personal motives and circumstances of interest in this topic.

Modern schoolchildren, including me, are active users of the Internet, in particular, social networks, various forums, and blogs. Very often, when reading publications and comments, you come across distorted words and expressions, many of which are completely incomprehensible (“preved”, “afftor zhzhot”, “ftopku”, “laughing”, “IMHO”, “to Babruisk, animal!” and etc.).Such writing options are frequent and systematic; texts are actively created with their use, dialogues and correspondence are conducted.This peculiar language has its own name (“Albanian”), its own history, websites and even its own manifesto(the so-called “manifesto of anti-literacy”). Writing in “Albanian” has become very fashionable, especially among young people, although many schoolchildren who actively use variants of “Albanian” spelling know nothing about this phenomenon. Arisesproblem: at school we try to follow the rules of spelling and grammar, we write as teachers require, and on the Internet we deviate from spelling rules so as not to look like a black sheep or seem out of date, especially since the words in Albanian are very sticky, you won’t want to, but remember and write it yourself. I decided to study this phenomenon to understand whether it is a harmless game or a serious threat to our language, leading to loss of literacy.

Chapter 1. Language information.

1.1. The history of the Albanian language.

In 2004, one of the users posted photographs on his blog on LiveJournal, accompanied by captions. Another user, an American, became interested in the photographs and texts accompanying them and asked why in the international system livejournal.com someone writes in a language he does not understand and what kind of language it is. The answer he received was: “It’s Albanian.” The Russian-speaking part of LiveJournal joined the dialogue and organized an action, as a result of which the American received countless comments calling for him to “learn Albanian.” Thanks to this story, the name “Albanian language” came into use. Albanian refers to a specific Russian language that is used on the Internet. It is characterized by violations of spelling rules, but they are violated in such a way that a word written in an unusual way sounds familiar, which is why the distorted name “Albanian” stuck. According to some linguists, this name stuck due to its consonance with the word “blockhead”. After all, initially, witty and grammatically aware Internet users cheerfully parodied the numerous errors and typos that flooded a variety of sites, especially those that provide the opportunity for a live exchange of opinions. This is the history of the name, and the phenomenon itself originated in the late 90s.

1.2. Causes of occurrence and spread.

According to linguists and psychologists, the following reasons for the emergence of “Albany” Internet slang can be identified:

The desire of a separate group to close itself off from the outside world. Using a special form of communication, they express their protest not only against linguistic, but also against social norms;

Setting up to create a relaxed atmosphere of communication;

The desire to express yourself in an original, fashionable, bright way;

Following fashion, the desire to be like everyone else;

The desire to create something new, your own, personal;

The desire of young people to speak out, to produce the so-called emotional “release” during aggression or stressful situations;

Internet slang, according to people who use it, is more economical and convenient than literary language. Slang, unlike the norm, is able to express thoughts more clearly, more flexible and more specifically;

Active useSMS(it is customary to shorten words and expressions using abbreviations, which is also typical for Internet slang);

Albany language - written colloquial speech - can combine the capabilities of written speech (communication at a distance) and oral speech (vivid emotionality).

1.3. Stages of Internet language development.

M It is possible to distinguish several stages in the development of this linguistic phenomenon:

Mass development of the Internet by the Russian-speaking contingent, during which numerous mistakes are made.

This caused a negative reaction among many literate users. But the “new spelling” has supporters. Arguments:

It took a long time to write competently (one must take into account that the Internet was exclusively “text-based”, no Skype or likes). Writing “Darova” (6 characters) is faster than “Hello” (12 characters).

When typing using the “I write as I hear” principle, no time is wasted on checking literacy.

Competent people launched a campaign called “banter.” It was at this stage that all sorts of words like"krosavcheg", "drink poison", "krevedko", "Afftar zhot"etc.

- The phenomenon has become popular. He was supported by not very literate schoolchildren; adults who also have literacy problems; supporters of "economy"; “text punks”, for whom illiteracy is a form of protest against the “bigotry and hypocrisy” of society; “fashionistas” who support everything if “it’s fashionable now”; people who just feel the urge to misbehave sometimes.

1.4. Rules of the "Albanian language".

At first glance, “Albanian” differs from Russian only in the abundance of spelling errors. But these mistakes are intentional, not accidental. Spelling rules are violated in such a way that a word written in an unusual way sounds familiar. By analyzing the words, you can identify the rules by which the “Albany” letter is drawn up.

- “and” in an unstressed position turns into “e”, “a” into “o”: hi - preved, handsome - into krosavcheg;

Unstressed “o” and “a”, “i” and “e” change places: devAchko, blANDinkO, smIshno;

Instead of “ts” and “ts” “ts” are used: deruTsTsa, dareTsTsa;

- “zhi” - “shi” turn into “zhy” - “shy”: animal;

- “sch” is replaced by “sch” and vice versa: eSCho, Shchastya;

- “I”, “yu” change to “ya”, “yu”: YAD, pachitaYU;

Voiceless consonants at the end of a word and before other voiceless consonants in the middle of a word turn into voiced ones: Pushkin - PuZhken, participant - participation;

The suffix “chick” into the suffix “cheg”: chairCHEG.

Merging words: niasilil.

1.4. Scope of use.

Most often, “Albanian” is used when writing comments on texts in blogs, chats and forums. Today, there are various social networks, communication in which is the leading means of communication: “Vkontakte”, “My World”, “Odnoklassniki”, “Facebook”. In addition, this language is gradually moving from virtual life to real life. Increasingly, it can be found in advertising, on store windows; individual phrases can sometimes be heard on TV or radio, or read in magazines and newspapers.

1.5. Features of the “Albanian language”.

After analyzing Internet texts and replicas, the following features were identified:

The form of existence of the “Albanian language” is written;

The main principle is “as I hear, so I write,” with minor deviations;

At the level of vocabulary, one can note the poverty of the “Albanian language”, consisting mainly of set expressions. In addition, there is polysemy: many expressions have several meanings, often very far from each other, for example: “how scary it is to live” in both literal and figurative meanings (“tired of your topic, switch”). Abundance of colloquial vocabulary;

At the morphological level, the following patterns can be seen: adverbs with the meaning of evaluation are often used, adverbs as interjections (“glamorous”, “gothic”), verbs in the imperative mood (“peshi escho”), the use of verbs in the third person instead of the first (“biezzo in hysterics"), inconsistency between the verb and the noun “kisa abidelos”), onomatopoeic words in a meaning unusual for them (“kisakuku” in the meaning “inadequate”);

At the syntax level, there is monotony and poverty of sentences, most often consisting of a subject, a predicate and rarely an object and a circumstance. There are many nominal sentences and sentences with addresses that are not separated by commas. There are a lot of exclamatory sentences (expression of evaluation).

Let us summarize the preliminary results: what is the “Albanian language”?

Almost all linguists agree that the main principle of its creation was a game and that games of this kind have already existed in the history of the Russian language. M. Krongauz says in one of his interviews: “I gave an example of famous linguists who played such a game. They invited their colleagues to write down words with as many errors as possible that did not affect pronunciation, for example, “ozpirand.” If you read it according to the rules of the Russian language, it reads like the incorrect entry “graduate student.” That is, the most incorrect recording of this word is what is called a spelling in school. You need to select all the spellings and make a mistake in each spelling. So it turned out that linguists played this, but they did not set out to communicate using this game. And at the beginning of the 20th century, Ilya Zdanevich wrote the work “Janko Krul of Albania,” where he experimented with writing words.”
In linguistic terms, "Albany" is slang. It does not develop, only existing words and expressions are consolidated. Linguist Alexander Berdichevsky believes that the concept introduced by British linguist Michael Halliday - “anti-language” - is suitable for defining the essence of the “Albanian language”.At our request, the Trans-Baikal poet, prose writer and journalist Maxim Stefanovich expressed his opinion about the “Albanian language”. From his point of view, the “Albany” language is absolutely nothing new in the language system. The “Albany” language is a manifestation of slang culture, which originates in the unconscious desire of people to create their own coordinate system as opposed to the already existing one. Slang is always a protest phenomenon. No one ever speaks slang, it is only used in individual cases and situations as a means of identification in a “friend or foe” manner and as a way to assert oneself in one’s own or others’ eyes as a unique and different person. Slang is part of a certain subculture. It is impossible to consider both of these concepts in isolation from each other. Adoption of slang is typical for people who are knowledgeable and feel

the need to join the bulk of slang culture carriers. This is not a language as such, but only a form of communicative adaptation in the same environment, a kind of verbal game and verbal juggling, a way to have fun and enjoy the game itself of “kibalchi boys”. “Albany” language, like any other form of slang, is based on an associative link to something “new”, “unusual”, “cool”, “fashionable” and “cool”. People who use slang in their communication with each other experience the real pleasure that they receive at the moment of meeting this linguistic phenomenon. The person remembers this “shock pleasure” and wants to speak slang. Maxim Krongauz believes that “Albansky” should be distinguished from the language of “bastards”, since the latter contains swear words and expressions, which cannot be said about “Albansky”.

Chapter 2. Ambiguous points of view on the “Albanian language” as a phenomenon.

Having studied various sources, we saw completely different opinions on this issue: from extremely negative to positive. Let's introduce some of them.

2.1. Positive assessments of the existence and use of Internet language.

Vitaly Kostomarov, academician of the Russian Academy of Education, president of the Institute of Russian Language and Literature named after. A.S. Pushkina, member of the board of the Federal Target Program for the Russian Language, believesthat everything is fine with the Russian language, it is developing according to its innermost internal laws, and there are no threats to the language from Internet slang, because the search for new spelling possibilities is underway. The current set of spelling and punctuation rules, approved in 1956, has ceased to satisfy young people. She invented a kind of linguistic game. Young people deliberately break the rules; they conduct a curious search. V. Kostomarov suggests that much can be revised without any loss to the language. For example, we write “chicken”, “circus”, but the pronunciation is equally firm. It is quite possible to simplify by eliminating the “and” after the “ts”. “Let me compare the rules of spelling and punctuation, say, with the rules of the road. Ignorance of the latter can lead to tragedy. What about spelling rules? If someone doesn’t know them, they will only laugh at him. At the same time, the rules of the road, if desired, can be learned in a week. But we have been teaching the rules of spelling and punctuation for 10 years and still know them poorly. It's time to ask the question: what's the matter? Apparently something is preventing them from being absorbed? “The Albany language” precisely indicates that there is a search for more rational rules,” concludes academician V. Kostomarov.
Literary critic Vyacheslav Kuritsyn also does not see anything wrong with using the “Albanian language,” saying that, in essence, this is poetry, a joyful childish desire to play with words, and such ease of handling language can only be envied.

2.2 Neutral assessments of the existence and use of the “Albanian language”.

First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev maintains a neutral position: “It is impossible to control the study in the country of this “alternative” Russian language used on the Internet. I think that this must be taken into account, at a minimum. You may or may not like this language environment, someone may say that this is a change in the norms and rules of the Russian language, but this is an existing, developing language environment, which, by the way, is still based on the Russian language."

Maxim Stefanovich believes that there is no need to be afraid of this phenomenon. Like any slang, “Albanian language” will very soon be replaced by something else, another form of communication, since the addictive factor and the “broken record” syndrome will inevitably take their toll. Some people mistakenly classify carriers of slang culture as “poorly educated idiots.” Such people undoubtedly occur in the slang community, but, as a rule, slang is not an indicator of a person’s intelligence. On the contrary, he speaks of a special type of personality consciousness and human character.

The opinion of Anatoly Wasserman is also interesting. He takes the position that the “Albanian language” as a subculture of the Internet is not dangerous for the language, for the culture as a whole, but, in his opinion, excessive pessimism is much more dangerous.

2.3. Negative judgments on the problem of the existence and use of the “Albanian language”.

Writer Mikhail Lifshits believes that the “Albanian language” is a continuation of illiterate speech. Using this “newspeak” is more convenient and easier than using the correct Russian language. For simple thoughts that are expressed in this language, sometimes letters are not needed - pluses, numbers, and parentheses are enough. And it’s easy to show aggression, and it’s easy to insert swear words. “If a person under 25 years of age does not understand the “Albanian language,” then he is behind the times, and if after 25 years a person uses this language, he ... has not matured.”

Young people who prefer to speak in Albanian are robbing themselves, says Marina Degtyareva, Doctor of Philology. “It is impossible to write “preved” and “medved” every day, and then easily switch to the scientific style of an essay or dissertation. It is impossible to constantly express your thoughts and emotions with the help of speech clichés, and then, when circumstances require it, to speak beautifully, competently, freely. A person with eyes callused with "ashipka" will not perceive all the charm of classical literature. And, of course, one cannot expect literacy from him when writing. Mangling words will inevitably worsen the literacy situation. A hand that is accustomed to writing incorrectly will then automatically “give” an error. It could cost someone their career."

Marina Degtyareva believes that “ringing the bell” is simply necessary. If in Russian language lessons teenagers still somehow try to control their writing, then in other lessons their texts are monstrously illiterate. Moreover, they form the opinion that literacy is an atavism, because they understand each other quite well when they write in “their” language. Spelling drags grammar along with it. The syntax has also changed, not for the better. Thus, playing with the Russian language and speech leads to serious consequences: the destruction of the grammatical system of the Russian language and widespread illiteracy among young people.

The vast majority of teachers and university professors are unanimous in their opinion and talk about Internet slang as a very aggressive phenomenon, because the wrong image of the word undermines the idea of the norm, especially for those who are already not okay with it. Children seem to live in a bilingual situation: on the Internet I write as I want, and at school (if possible) - as required.

M. Krongauz, who is seriously involved in the problem of the “Albanian language,” believes that Internet spelling corruption is the games of very literate people - intellectuals. But these games are beneficial to illiterate people. And, as we know, there are more illiterate people, so spelling rules may be lost forever. The problem is that children of the Internet age read more from a screen than from a piece of paper. This means that the generation that grew up in the era of the popularity of Internet slang has not formed a single graphic appearance of the word and variability in the spelling of words is natural for them, which means that this generation is illiterate. It’s scary that today there’s no shame in writing illiterately. It’s good if a person with established literate writing skills uses this language, for him it’s really a game. And for children, the use of Internet slang threatens that it will gradually become the norm for them, and we will end up with a completely illiterate generation.

It must also be said that not the entire Internet community has switched to “Albanian”. Over the past few years, several events have taken place, the meaning of which is united by the motto: “I can speak Russian!” Signs “I am writing in Russian”, “Please do not disturb authors”, “I want to read texts in correct Russian” decorated many diaries of live journals and personal pages of social network users.

So, we are convinced that opinions are very different. Let's summarize some results.Supporters “Albanian language” put forward the following arguments in favor of this phenomenon:

By practicing the “Albanian language”, its speakers find unexpected combinations and spellings, which develops the language and suggests its further path of development. Such an experiment has already happened: futurists at the beginning of the twentieth century. experimented with language and treated it very freely, for example, Velimir Khlebnikov;

- “Albanian language” is just a game that allows you to take a break from everyday affairs and worries. There's nothing scary about this game;

- “Albanian” provides significantly more opportunities for expressing an emotional state;

Often the use of "Albanian" causes a comic effect, which is very funny;

Writing outside the rules is much easier; it is liberating, since a person is not afraid to make mistakes and expresses his thoughts much more accurately and completely.

Opponents give the following arguments:

Futurists created new words and unexpected combinations of words with the goal of changing the reader's view of the world. What is the point of using "Albanian"? Laugh? Play? Their works were works of art, that is, they had the goal of creating an image;

If an adult, educated person plays, then there is nothing wrong with that: he always knows where the boundaries of the game are. What if a child or teenager is playing? Is it dangerous;

Emotions and expression in Albany are basically reduced to two states: good or bad. There are no shades to express emotions;

Writing without rules is the main reason for the disruption of the communicative function of language (the older generation does not understand the younger).

Chapter 3. Practical part. Conducting an experiment.

The experiment was conducted among 7th grade students. First, the subjects were asked several questions:

Do you know what “Albanian language” is?

When corresponding on the Internet, do you use distorted words such as “preved”, “handsome”, “zhzhot”, etc.?

How often do you communicate on the Internet (every day, 1-2 times a week, very rarely).

The survey results are presented in the diagram.

Thus, the survey showed that none of the students had heard of the “Albanian language,” but people. “Albanisms” are actively used. seventh graders communicate daily, 1-2 times a week, but very rarely.

After the survey, the experiment participants were asked to write a short dictation. The dictation was passed with “5” - people, “4” - , “3” - , “2” -

Then the subjects were offered the same text, but in “Albanian” - with distortions. The guys had to write it every day for 5 days. On the 6th day, the same text was dictated to them again; the seventh graders had to write it down in correct Russian.

The results of the first and second dictations are presented in the table.

The test results showed that spelling literacy worsened among the participants, but remained at the same level. Children with poor spelling skills performed worse on the text. There were mistakes made in the words they wrote with distortions over the course of 5 days. Children with well-developed spelling skills noted that they wrote more slowly than usual, having to stop and think about how to spell a word, whereas previously they did so automatically. The experiment showed that “Albany language” negatively affects students’ literacy.

Conclusion.

So, in our work we tried to analyze the speech of users of social networks and various forums. It has been revealed that the “Albanian language” is used in the speech of representatives of different age groups (11-45 years old) and serves for communication, evaluation and as an expressive means of expression. From the examples given, it is clear that points of view on this phenomenon are very ambiguous. One thing becomes completely clear to me: the language should be used very carefully, it is necessary to learn to distinguish between lexical layers that are different in stylistic coloring, to choose the right language means that are adequate to the specific communication situation, to take into account the “addressee factor”, for which it is necessary not only to know the norms of the literary language , but also to analyze live speech. I believe that the “Albanian language” should not be “released” from the Internet into real life. It is useless to ban it, because a ban only gives rise to irritation and aggression. But it is possible and necessary to fight it. First of all, it must be a struggle with oneself, which manifests itself in the desire for self-improvement. It is necessary to read real poetry, real prose, only then will you be able to feel all the beauty of our beautiful language and you certainly won’t want to distort it.

This work required me to study a large number of sources with different opinions of people, but this work was not done in vain. She made me study a linguistic phenomenon that exists currently and causes heated debate among people. This emphasizes the relevance of the issue under consideration, as well as its significance for the modern generation, because it depends on us how our language will develop.

My research work does not mean the end of the study of the modern Internet language, it will be interesting to trace its further history, whether the “Albanian language” will be used for a few more years, or will lose its existence, perhaps it will be replaced by some new “language” After all, in the modern world everything changes very quickly.
The materials of the work can be used by Russian language teachers and class teachers to conduct lessons, discussions and class hours on the problems of the modern Russian language. The work can be used to design school wall newspapers or to write an article for the regional newspaper “Petrovskaya Nov”, because this material is very interesting not only for young people, but also for the older generation. I plan to put a dictionary of “Albany” words and expressions in the form of a booklet and distribute it to the children, perhaps they will reconsider their attitude towards this phenomenon, because this dictionary is so similar to the simple dictionary of Ellochka the Ogre from “12 Chairs” by I. Ilf and E. Petrov, which, as you know, only needed thirty words to communicate and which looks funny and pitiful.

P . S . One of the points of the American military doctrine contains references to the education system. It says that the destruction of the education system is one of the components of a successful victory over the Enemy. And if the American military emphasizes this point so seriously, then any state should think about its “foundation” - culture and its legacy for future generations.

Annex 1.

Dictionary of “Albany” words and expressions.

Aftar zhzhot - Expresses admiration, one of the most famous cliches.
Hellish (from “hellish”) - usually hellishly good, strong.

“Drink poison” is a low assessment of the author’s work.
Zhiznenna - a positive assessment that emphasizes the vitality of the situation.
Zachot - a high positive assessment.

Ya - I (personal pronoun).
Krosafcheg - admiration for an animated subject of discussion with an element of irony.
Mosk is the brain.
Nipadetzski - “very”, “seriously”, adverb. Used to enhance expression.

Patstalom - says that the reader fell under the table laughing and is currently writing from under it.
Laughing - a comment on a funny or ridiculous post/comment.
Ubeisibyaapstenu - low assessment of the author's work.
Ftopku is an extremely negative assessment.
Hunderstand (from the English understand - to understand) - to understand Albanian, to be fluent in Albanian language.
Still here? - the question “Still here?”
Ъ is a symbol of the Albanian language that needs to be highlighted separately. Denotes the truth, reality, genuineness of something. Used separately: “Ъ!!!” - “I’m amazed, I simply have no words from the feelings overwhelming me,” or as an ending in some words (for example, “ya cried”), which emphasizes their increased emotional load, that is, that this is really “labor.”

Why? This is LiveJournal. American site, not Albanian. And I know that you speak two languages. Plus, being an American means the rest of the world has to adjust to me. But this is just my point of view.

First Albanian lessons:

First lesson. About the letter X. X. This is an important Albanian letter of the Russian alphabet. The fucking Albanian national word “dick” begins with it. The word is popular among the people and is often used. ...
A is the most important letter Alphabet. The name of a country no less fucked up than Albania begins with it - namely America.

Albanian on Madonna's blog

Madonna was also urged to learn “Albanian” after she, using a translation program, greeted her Russian fans, calling them “fans” (English. fan- fan/fan/hairdryer, fan/fan):

For my Russian fans. I want to personally welcome you to my blog. I love you guys! You are the best! Don't forget to buy my new album Confessions on the Dance Field. Express it. Don't suppress. I noticed your presence here. I will remember your kindness.

Later they helped her correct the translation.

Historical coincidences

Poet and futurist artist Ilyazd in 1916, long before the advent of the “language of bastards,” he wrote an entire play in the spelling-incorrect Russian language mixed with abstruse language, called “Izyk Albanskay.”
In 1997, Alexander Prokhanov published an article in his newspaper “Zavtra”: “Russian, learn Albanian! »

Story

Spreading

In popular culture

References to the slang of bastards in literature, music, and cinema are not uncommon.

The parody group “The Nepodarki” performs songs in the slang of bastards.

In the song “Grandma Asked” by the group “Lilies of the Valley” there are the lines:

About this unique phenomenon
I told Gordon in my spare time
Gordon answered me on a fashionable hairdryer:
“Burn, bitch!”

In Victor Pelevin's work Helm of Horror, the character S"liff_zoSSchitan spoke the Padonkaf language.
