The subject of this research is language, which is considered in the broad context of culture and socialization. Changing in both formal and informal groups and communities, modern language is becoming more slangy and "visualized." The language of the digital environment is an increasingly complex hybrid of human, natural, technical, and cultural. The digital environment is adopting and in some ways already transforming the functions of language in relation to its conditions, such as human communication, knowledge of the world, storage and transmission of information, etc. In many ways, the digital environment is becoming not only an influencing factor, but also a determining factor in changes in both language, culture, and human socialization. Previously, it was the word that defined the form, the "representation" of human thought, but now the digital form gives human thought content. The main theoretical and methodological approaches in our work are systematic and integrated. The specifics of the study revealed the need to apply a cause-and-effect analysis of the phenomena under study. Language, as a system of signs, can be called the first and key harbinger of the digital environment. As the digital environment develops, the processes of mutual influence of language and the digital environment increase. But if language development is a natural process that evolves humanity, then the prospects for the digital environment are not so clear. The digital environment is transforming the process of socialization. And not only for young people, but also for adults, for everyone. Human interaction with artificial, automated systems will obviously also affect both changes in the language itself and the cognitive sphere of the individual. If the digital environment does not create its own language yet, it definitely contributes to the universalization of human interaction with other people, automated systems, and oneself. The research results can be applied in philosophy, cultural studies, and pedagogy.
