M. Zainalova, A. TurusbekovaThis article is about the influence of mass culture on the English language. First of all, the question of what mass culture is and how it affects languages in general was considered. In the given article we are discussing issues related not only the positive impact on the language, but also the negative moments of this action. Since culture and language are parallel aspects of the modern society’s life, the article talks about the inseparability of these aspects.
