Abstract

The emergence of the Internet has brought about unprecedented changes in communication. New social activities and relations on the Internet resulted in the creation of a new form of culture - the Internet or cyber culture. The very nature of the Internet as a global medium affects both language in general and individual languages. Contemporary sociological, cultural and communication theories are exploring the nature and far-reaching effects of these social changes and processes. In this paper, we present some of the features of the language and culture of the Internet, with special emphasis on anonymity of communication, linguistic creativity and linguistic norms. We also discuss the changes that have occurred in the Serbian language under the influence of English as the dominant language of the Internet communication. Intensive Anglicization of Serbian has led to the development of a new language variety named Angloserbian. It is a variety used by urban members of the younger generation who are growing up with the electronic media and are modeling their language on cultural and language norms of these media

Keywords
