    TARTU UNIVERSITY NARVA COLLEGE DIVISION of FOREIGN LANGUAGES Vladimir Lilenko WORD-FORMATION AND SEMANTIC MECHANISMS IN ENGLISH INTERNET SLANG AND MEMES CREATION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE Bachelor’s thesis Supervisor: Lect. O.Orehhova NARVA 2013 PREFACE English Internet slang and memes have become not only a part of the English language, but they have been imposing a great influence on Russian and the verbal culture of young generation as well. Memes have almost replaced usual Internet chatting and emotional expression of most Russian speaking young people. English slang has grown so deeply inside Russian that it is accepted as that of the Russian origin. The present research paper attempts to show how the English Internet slang and memes are formed and what a great impact they have on the Russian language. The thesis conducts an analysis of the English Internet slang, compares English Internet slang with that of the Russian language as well as analyses the impact of English memes and Internet slang on the Russian language. The paper consists of the Introduction, three core chapters and the Conclusion. The introductory part provides an overview of the English Internet slang and memes creation history. Chapter I includes an overview of word-formation processes and semantic mechanisms in English. Chapter II includes the analysis of 30 most popular English Internet slang words and 10 Internet memes. The aim of the analysis is to find out what word-formation processes and semantic mechanisms are mostly used in modern English Internet slang and memes. The aim of Chapter III is to study out the impact of English Internet slang and memes on the Russian language.
