The article examines the increasing presence of English borrowed words (Anglicisms) in the speech of modern youth and analyzes the sociolinguistic factors contributing to this phenomenon. The research identifies key functional domains in which English loanwords are most frequently used and highlights the predominance of media-related borrowings. The findings suggest that young people consciously incorporate English words into their speech as a means of self-expression, identity formation, and adaptation to modern realities. While concerns exist regarding the potential impact on the native language, the study concludes that youth slang represents a natural stage in linguistic development and that most borrowed words can coexist with or be replaced by literary equivalents over time.
