The Anglo-Americanisms are often used in youth internet correspondence nowdays due their popularity among young people. It is noted that the borrowed lexical units do not correspond to their prototypes in the source language. When included in the lexical and semantic system of the Russian language, foreign words undergo semantic changes. When the lexical unit was introduced into the Russian language, it underwent increasing or decreasing in the volume of semantic meaning. In the future, borrowings, like all other native lexical units, show a tendency to develop a semantic structure.
