Abstract: The inter-university interdisciplinary round table of the scholars “The Dynamics of Language in Realities of Modernity” united the representative of various higher education facilities of Altai Krai: language experts, literary historians, journalists, and philosophers to explicate and detect the processes taking place in language under the influence of the modern sociocultural situation. During the course of the discussion, the following most significant issues according to the opinion of the participants were determined: the “pressure points” of the dynamics of language in the modern sociocultural reality; postmodernist trends in the language picture of the world; mentality as the inherent property of language; foreign language borrowings and language mixes, and their cultural meaning; dynamics of the conceptual structure of the world in the consciousness of native-speakers; reduction in the informative semantic sphere of texts within the modern mass communication; positive trends in discourse of the modern mass communication, and others. Analyzing the dynamics of language in the current sociocultural realities, the authors determined the factors that explain its changeability and sustainability, positive and negative trends in the development of language as a whole alongside the language of mass communication, changes in the language picture of the world, cultural effects of the foreign language borrowings and unsubstantiated attempts to reform the language, possibilities for overcoming the “clipping” of the modern media text and its understanding, and positive trends in modernization of the media discourse.
