A sphere of new technologies is the main sources that enriches the English language with a great number of lexical-semantic and phraseological units in connection with the current tendencies and areas of scientific and technological development. This is explained by the fact that a quick development of this sphere and newly appeared new items, events and processes in it require appropriate notation in the language. The article analyzes peculiarities of formation and functioning of English computer language in the context of development of the modern English vocabulary.

Less productive are conversion and blending. It is mentioned that computer terms become more common in everyday life due to development of information technologies, which causes development of slang and colloquialisms.
