Speciality language: ways of expression and social aspects

The globalization and new media make impact on processes of language change, so the evaluation and research of the new linguistic phenomena is required. The situation of languages and their change can be analyzed from different angles. One of the possible areas of a research is a specialty language as a layer of the standard language. The research of specialty language can be divided into two parts. The first is a purely linguistic one involving the means of expression of the specific language varieties system, its functioning and development. Within frames of this part of research the features of the linguistic fields (grammar, syntax) are investigated, paying the special attention to the terminology of specialty language and its synchronic and diachronic aspects as well as potential and comparative approach to that terminology. The second part of research would include the social aspects related to the functioning of specialty language: language as a social phenomenon in the academic environment as well as various attitudes (the attitudes to the standard language in general, to the means of standard language, to their changes and purpose) of the participants of this environment, that is, teachers and students. The another social aspect would be the impact of globalization on the scientific language, including the impact of international science language on national languages and the impact of its status on English language, as well as a variety of language policy means and language prestige value-enhancing measures.
