This article analyzes the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on the dynamics of contemporary language, focusing on Russian and Bulgarian. In the context of globalization and digitalization, it traces the main trends in lexical, grammatical, and word-formation transformations caused by new technologies and virtual communication. The study is based on a corpus of over one thousand jargon units from the ICT field, through which the process of adaptation and assimilation of foreign borrowings, primarily from English, is examined. Special attention is given to hybridization, digraphy, and visual communication (emoticons, hashtags, memes), which form a new type of linguistic reality. The results show that ICT accelerate linguistic changes, expand the norms of the standard language, and stimulate the interaction between standard and substandard vocabulary.
