Report: Padonkaf language or Albanian language. Albanian language

The method of writing in a given position is chosen to be the one that does not correspond to the spelling norm - use A instead of unstressed O and vice versa, interchange of unstressed And, e And I, cc or ts instead of ts, ts, ds, Also wow And shi, why And now instead of live And shi, cha And now, sch instead of sch and vice versa, yea, yo, yu instead of initial ones I, e, yu, interchange of voiceless and voiced at the end of a word or before voiceless ( crosafcheg), and instead of f can be used in this position ff(modeled on the old Western European transmission of surnames like Smirnoff). It is also common to merge words together without a space ( LOL). In other words, this is an “anti-norm” based on a consistent (or close to it) rejection of the existing normative choice of spellings (that is, in order to write in the jargon of bastards, one actually needs to master the existing norm). In addition, means that violate the graphic principles of reading are used less frequently: the interchange of voiceless and voiced not only at the end of a word ( dafai), as well as hard and soft (for example, bear). The latter phenomena are lexicalized (associated with specific words).

Why? This is LiveJournal. American site, not Albanian. And I know that you speak two languages. Plus, being an American means the rest of the world has to adjust to me. But this is just my point of view.

In response, a flash mob called Albanian Lessons was organized in the Russian-language section of LiveJournal, which aimed to help an American learn Russian. In a couple of days scottishtiger received several thousand comments with “Albanian lessons” and just flood. The user was asked to apologize and write a post in his journal (in Russian) stating that he had already learned the Albanian language, that scottishtiger , in the end, he did. Perhaps only because, in addition to the magazine and mailbox, I received a huge number of SMS messages and calls on my mobile phone.

First Albanian lessons:

Lesson one. About the letter X. X. This is an important Albanian letter of the Russian alphabet. The fucking Albanian national word “dick” begins with it. The word is popular among the people and is often used. ...
A is the most important letter Alphabet. The name of a country no less fucked up than Albania begins with it - namely America.

After some time, it reduced its activity (including turning off comments) due to incessant uncontrolled flooding, and then ceased to exist altogether (the decision to delete its blog had nothing to do with the “Learn Albanian” campaign). Currently blog scottishtiger restored by the old owner, although started from scratch (that is, all old records were deleted). Initially, the expression “learn Albanian” had nothing to do with the so-called “bastards”; it was borrowed later.

Albanian on Madonna's blog

Madonna was also urged to learn “Albanian” after she, using a translation program, greeted her Russian fans, calling them “fans” (English. fan- fan/fan/hairdryer, fan/fan):

For my Russian fans. I want to personally welcome you to my blog. I love you guys! You are the best! Don't forget to buy my new album Confessions on the Dance Field. Express it. Don't suppress. I noticed your presence here. I will remember your kindness.

Later they helped her correct the translation.

Historical coincidences

Poet and futurist artist Ilyazd in 1916, long before the advent of the “language of bastards,” he wrote an entire play in the spelling-incorrect Russian language mixed with abstruse language, called “Izyk Albanskay.”
In 1997, Alexander Prokhanov published an article in his newspaper “Zavtra” “Russian, learn Albanian! »

Story

The style, based on deliberately incorrect spelling, spread spontaneously on the Internet as a grotesque reaction to numerous spelling errors in Internet publications and remarks. It is believed that the appearance of padonkaff jargon on the Internet was due to the activities of Dmitry Sokolovsky, the administrator of the site udaff.com, better known as “Boa Constrictor.” In 2000, he began writing for a site with the self-explanatory names fuck.ru and fuckru.net, and then opened the site udaff.com, where he publishes his own and other people’s texts, in which sex, food and feces prevail, and swearing is also widely used . According to Sokolovsky himself, the first to distort words on the site fuck.ru was the author, who spoke under the nickname Linxy. Then for a long time he supported the well-known countercultural website down-culture.ru, which currently does not exist. In honor of Linksy, this language was originally called L-language.

They began to call it “Albanian” after an Internet flash mob provoked by an American user of LiveJournal, who had the imprudence to ask a Russian-speaking LiveJournal user “what kind of language is this” in which he writes on the pages of his online diary, and then demand that he he kept notes in English on the grounds that LiveJournal is supposedly an “American site.” This post in the community quickly received a huge number of comments, most of which were openly sarcastic (including the famous answer to an American’s question about the language of the mentioned diary - “Albanian”). Russian LiveJournal users, as part of the flash mob, also began to leave many similar comments on the posts of the American author, and ultimately he was forced to temporarily delete his magazine.

The predecessor of the Padonki language is the language of the Kaschenites, a special group of people who lived in the Fidonet echo conference SU.KASCHENKO.LOCAL. It was the Kaschenites who first came up with the idea of writing deliberately incorrectly. At different times, the language of the Kaschenites changed, and an already established version of the language ended up on the Internet, already under the name “language of the bastards”. On the Internet, the language practically did not develop, but it gave rise to many stable expressions.

A follower of the language of bastards can be considered the language of Upyachka, although this “language” is too specific: basically it is a mixture of several individual words that for the most part do not carry a semantic load, for example: “Zhep ebrilo”, “Chocho”, “Adinadinadin” and etc.

Spreading

The style became widespread on the Internet, and the deliberate obscenity and cynicism of the style receded, causing the areas of use to expand significantly. The language of bastards became widespread with the advent of blogs on the Internet, in which “bastards” left their “comments” (comments). Jargon had a strong influence on the development of the language cliches of LiveJournal, which gave rise to a number of common “comments”, such as “pervyynakh” (first comment), “afftar zhzhot”, “kill apsten”, “drink yada”, “zachot”, “hellish soton” ", etc. In accordance with the described norms, English words from the general Internet vocabulary, elements of slang and original expressions were also included in the jargon.

Currently, the jargon of “bastards” is gradually moving from virtual life to real life. More and more often it can be found in advertising and on store windows (not to mention graffiti). And even in the headlines of analytical articles, for example: Among supporters of purity of speech, slang is extremely unpopular and is subject to obstruction.

In popular culture

References to the slang of bastards in literature, music, and cinema are not uncommon.

The parody group “The Nepodarki” performs songs in the slang of bastards.

In the song “Grandma Asked” by the group “Lilies of the Valley” there are the lines:

About this unique phenomenon
I told Gordon in my spare time
Gordon answered me on a fashionable hairdryer:
“Burn, bitch!”

In Victor Pelevin's work Helm of Horror, the character S"liff_zoSSchitan spoke the Padonkaf language.

Possible prototypes

Transition from e To yo and from I To yea represents a process that is partly the reverse of the historical process of the emergence of these letters: the letter “e” was introduced in 1783 as a replacement for “io”, and “ya” (or rather, its predecessors yus small and aiotated) appeared as the ligatures εν and ıa, respectively . However, the phonetic meaning of the small yus when it appeared was different (e is nasal, not ja), and in addition, iotated vowels and io were also used after consonants (where they meant one sound), which is not always typical for the padonki language.

Phonetically correct, but spelling incorrect writing (the so-called “illiterate letter”) has existed since the phonetic changes of the 14th-15th centuries. (the appearance of akanya, hardening of hissing words, deafening of final words, simplification of combinations), which made possible graphically correct entries that do not correspond to the etymological orthography accepted in book writing (no matter how wide its norms were in different periods before the stabilization of Russian orthography in the middle of the 19th century). In everyday writing (letters, private letters, graffiti), especially among people not associated with the church or literature (even high-ranking ones), such graphics have always been in wide circulation; for example, Peter I wrote to his mother, Tsarina Natalya Kirillovna: And I, thank God, besides this I won’t force myself to do anything else and will go as far as I can; and Andursky<Гамбургские>there have never been any ships yet. Therefore, my joy, hello, and I live with your prayers. Unlike the language of bastards, such graphics are not deliberate in nature, but are usually associated with incomplete mastery of the book’s spelling norm; accordingly, the task of consistently repelling from it is not set (thus, at the end of a word in “illiterate writing” it will be written much more often - To, how - G, in accordance with the real pronunciation, and a special replacement for the spelling - To on - G there won't be; it is possible only in cases of hypercorrection).

For the first time in paper printing, the topic of erratives is discussed in the article:

“Padonkaffsky” or “Albanian” yizyg- a style of using the Russian language that spread in Runet at the beginning of the 21st century with phonetically almost correct, but deliberately incorrect spelling of words (the so-called errative), frequent use of profanity and certain cliches characteristic of slangs. Most often used when writing comments on texts in blogs, chats and web forums. Slang has given rise to many stereotypical expressions and Internet memes, in particular, the “preved” meme is associated with it.

Characteristics

The main feature of the “padonkaf” style is the deliberate violation of the spelling norms of the Russian language (focused on etymology) while maintaining the graphic principles of reading and, in general, the same phonetic sequence. Of the homophonic writing methods in this position, the one that does not correspond to the spelling norm is selected - the use of a instead of unstressed o and vice versa, the interchange of unstressed i, e and ya, tsts or tsts, ts, ds, also zhy and shy, chya and shchya instead of zhi and shi, cha and sha, shch instead of сч and vice versa, ya, yo, yu instead of initial i, ё, yu, interchange of voiceless and voiced at the end of a word or before voiceless ones (krosafcheg), and instead of f in this position ff can be used ( modeled on the old Western European transmission of surnames like Smirnoff).

Merging words together without a space (laughing) is also common. In other words, this is an “anti-norm” based on a consistent (or close to it) rejection of the existing normative choice of spellings (that is, in order to write in the jargon of bastards, one actually needs to master the existing norm). In addition, means that violate the graphic principles of reading are used less frequently: the interchange of voiceless and voiced not only at the end of a word (dafai), but also hard and soft (for example, bear). The latter phenomena are lexicalized (associated with specific words).

In addition, the “padonkaf” language includes specific vocabulary - usually general literary words, which are assigned special meanings/uses (jargon in the proper sense of the word): such is the word padonok itself, as well as expressions like zhzhosh, afftar, drink yada, hellish, etc. .

Spreading

The style became widespread on the Internet, and the deliberate obscenity and cynicism of the style receded, causing the areas of use to expand significantly. The jargon of bastards became widespread with the advent of blogs on the Internet, in which “bastards” left their “comments” (comments). Jargon had a strong influence on the development of LiveJournal language cliches, which gave rise to a number of common “comments”, such as “pervyynakh” (first comment), “afftar zhzhod”, “kill apsten”, “drink yada”, “yazva” (something bad) , “zachod”, “hellish sotona”, etc. In accordance with the described norms, English words from the general Internet vocabulary, elements of slang and original expressions were also included in the jargon.

" Albanian language" . Research experience

Introduction

Virtual communication has given rise to a special language of virtual communication, nicknamed “Albanian”. Its distinctive feature is the distortion of the Russian language according to certain rules. This special language began to gradually move into everyday life, thereby exacerbating the problem of the purity of the modern Russian language. Scientists - linguists, teachers - linguists, parents often reproach our generation for illiteracy, considering its main reason to be an excessive passion for communicating “in Albanian style”. But is this really so?

I put forward a hypothesis: the use of the “Albanian language” when communicating on the Internet does not affect students’ literacy in Russian language lessons.

The purpose of my work is to study the influence of the “Albany language” on the literacy of students in grades 8-9 of the State Educational Institution “Samokhvalovichskaya Secondary School”.

Job objectives:

Study information about the peculiarities of adolescent communication via the Internet, forms of virtual communication;

Study frequently used slang expressions and abbreviations of words and try to identify the peculiarities of their use in the “Albanian language”;

To explore the views of students in grades 8-9 and teachers of the State Educational Institution “Samokhvalovichskaya Secondary School” on this issue.

Object of study: “Albanian language”.

Subject of the study: the influence of the “Albanian language” on the literacy of students in grades 8-9 of the State Educational Institution “Samokhvalovichskaya Secondary School”.

Methods used: survey, monitoring, bibliographic analysis method.

1. Specifics of communication on the Internet

Internet Albanian language student

Communication on the Internet is a relatively new phenomenon and therefore little studied. On the one hand, on the Internet you can find any information on any topic, including the topic of Internet communication. On the other hand, research on this type of communication is rather fragmentary and inconsistent. However, based on data from the resource www.psychology.ru, we can highlight the following: specialthe importance of communication through andinternet.

Firstly, it is anonymity. The information provided by the Internet user is insufficient for a real and adequate perception of the individual. In addition, concealment or provision of false information is observed. As a result of such anonymity and impunity, another feature appears on the Internet related to the reduction of psychological risk in the process of communication - liberation, non-normativity and some irresponsibility of the participants in communication.

Secondly, contacts are voluntary. The user voluntarily makes contacts or leaves them, and can also interrupt them at any time.

Thirdly, this is the difficulty of the emotional component of communication. At the same time, there is a persistent desire for emotional content in the text, which is expressed in the creation of special icons to indicate emotions or in describing emotions in words.

If we talk about forms of virtual communication, then the most famous are chats, forums, email, ICQ, blogs.

Each of these forms has its own unique traditions of communication and makes special demands on the language in which communication occurs. In addition, forms of network communication differ not only in the mode of interactivity (Online and Offline), the direction of communication (mono-dialogue and polylogical), but also in the degree of openness. We can conditionally divide them into “open” (available for viewing by all network users) and “private” (intended for confidential communication).

Let's look at some of them in more detail. IN chats For the most part, communication is practiced for the sake of communication itself. They are characterized by unprepared utterances, where the conversational genre predominates, which, however, is influenced by the specificity of the exchange of remarks in writing. Through chat, an essentially new form of linguistic interaction has emerged - a symbiosis of written and spoken speech. In addition, the speed of communication in chats has left its mark on the volume of remarks: statements are laconic, the average length of a message is 5-6 words, while the volume emails can reach several pages of text.

Over the past few years they have become very popular blogs, online diaries of one or more authors, consisting of entries in reverse chronological order. Forums is a place for networking between a group of authors, where entries are united by a common theme. They are focused on a more time-delayed exchange of statements than chats, so the remarks of forum participants are more consistent with the manner of written speech: statements are logical, complete and informative.

The need for full communication on the Internet has brought to life new sign systems. The inability to use standard means of conveying emotions when communicating on the Internet has led to the creation of a system of so-called emoticons, with the help of which a fairly diverse range of feelings can be expressed. Capital letters are also used as a substitute for voice modulations, which outside the title convey an increase in voice tone.

Often, Internet users do not bother with detailed comments, preferring common phrases from online jargon. If the text is liked, it is rewarded with typical praise: “Zhzhot!”, “HDDD”. If the message seemed boring - “Facepalm”, “Nizachot”, “Nikatit”. Such blatant distortion of language is not necessarily a sign of total illiteracy of visitors to blogs and chats. How else to convey the nuances of your emotions - irony, sarcasm, surprise? So netizens resort to deviations from the norms of spelling and punctuation, the use of capital letters inside words and other games with the alphabet (see. APPENDIX 1).

The main purpose of using such a sign system is to save time allocated for communication. This is a sign of modern society as a whole: the pace of life is accelerating every day, and language, accordingly, adapts to new operating conditions.

Many Internet users admit a huge amount errors. These errors can be divided into the following groups.

Common illiteracy. Some people did not learn the rules of spelling at school and simply do not know how to spell this or that word. They use words that are difficult for them as they see fit, but often their opinion about the correct spelling does not coincide with the truth.

Deliberate illiteracy. Illiteracy in this case is elevated to the rank of dignity. Words are printed as they are heard and pronounced, voiced consonants are changed to voiceless (“daroff”), A on ABOUT, E on AND and vice versa (“preved”). It is this spelling that is a kind of calling card of the “Albanian language”. Possession of “Albanian” shows that a person belongs to the huge community of Internet communication. He becomes his own, distorting the Russian language according to certain rules.

Typos. The Internet is full of typos. There are so many typos because many people do not check the correctness of the typed text.

2. by students 8-9 classes of the State Educational Institution "Samokhvalovichskaya Secondary School"

To study students’ ideas about the impact of the “Albany language” on literacy, I developed a special questionnaire. The rules for compiling this type of questionnaire are taken from a sociology textbook edited by prof. Elsukova A.N.

What forms of communication on the Internet do you prefer?

31 students (86 % ) selected chat, 3(1 4 % ) - email.

Do you use “Albanian language” in online communication?

Never

Depending on the situation

26 studentov (7 2 % ) repliedO“depending on the situation”, 5- "sometimes", 4(1 1 % ) - « often» , 1 (3 % ) - « never» .

Do you use “Albanian” in your oral communication with your classmates?

Never

Depending on the situation

30 students(8 3 % ) answered “sometimes”, 4(1 1 % ) - "often", 2(6 % ) - "never".

Do you use “Albanian language” when communicating with parents and teachers?

Never

Depending on the situation

27 (7 5 % ) students answered “never”, 8(2 2 % ) - "depending on the situation", 1(3 % ) - Sometimes.

Why do you use “Albanian language” in online communication?

It's modern (fashionable)

It's fun

So that adults don't understand

That's what everyone does

It's faster this way

34 students(9 4 % ) answered “it’s faster”, 2(6 % ) - "this is funO".

Do you use spelling rules when communicating on the Internet?

Never

Depending on the situation

35 students (9 7 % ) answered “depending on the situation”, 1(3 % ) - "Always".

Do you use punctuation rules when communicating on the Internet?

Never

Depending on the situation

30 (8 3 % ) students answered “depending on the situation”, 6(1 7 % ) - "Sometimes".

What words do you modify most often?

Plz please.

Pozyazya - please.

Lu cha och sina - I love you very much.

Mona - you can.

Sho-thread - something.

Ku - hi.

Good night - good night.

Current - only.

MB - maybe.

Spc - thank you.

Namana is fine.

How a u - how are you?

Does using “Albanian” when communicating on the Internet affect your literacy in class?

32 students(8 9 % ) answered “no”, 4 (1 1 % ) - "Don't know".

So, the students’ answers are quite categorical: 89% of those who participate in Internet communication (or 64% of all respondents - let me remind you, a total of 50 people took part in the survey) believe that use of "Albanian language"does not affect their literacy at school. Here are the most common arguments.

“I use slang depending on the communication situation, first of all, on who my interlocutor is.”

“Nowadays everyone speaks Albanian in chat rooms, but in real life I try not to use it.”

“I write everywhere not very competently. I don’t make mistakes on purpose, but I don’t worry too much about them either.”

This position is confirmed by the answers to the previous questions. Let me remind you that, answering questions No. 6, “Do you apply spelling rules when communicating on the Internet?” and No. 7 “Do you use punctuation rules when communicating on the Internet?”, 97% and 83% of students, respectively, chose the answer “depending on the situation.”

Illustrative examples of correspondence on the Internet in compliance with the norms of the Russian language are given in APPS 2 And 3 .

The same clear answer was given to the question about the reasons for using the “Albanian language” when communicating on the Internet: “it’s faster” (94% of respondents). In turn, this result is confirmed by the answers to question No. 8 “What words do you modify most often?” The expressions given as an answer are mainly abbreviations of words and phrases.

To further check the objectivity of the results obtained, I conducted a survey among 8 teachers - linguists at our school. The question was posed as follows: “Does the use of the “Albanian language” in Internet communication affect students’ literacy in Russian, Belarusian and English lessons?” Answer options: “yes”, “no”, “I don’t know”.

2 teachers (25%) answered “yes”, 6 (75%) - “no”.

Conclusion

Communication on the Internet is identified by many modern researchers as a special type of communication with their specific characteristics: anonymity, voluntary contacts and difficulty in the emotional component of communication.

Most famous forms of virtual communication are forums, e-mail, ICQ, blogs, chats.

Through chat, a new form of language interaction has emerged - symbiosis of written and spoken speech. The main reason for using it is to save time allocated for communication.

When communicating in chat rooms, Internet users admit a huge number of errors. These errors can be divided into three groups:

ordinary illiteracy, deliberate illiteracy (“Albanian language”), typos. According to popular belief, the use of “Albany language” is the main reason for the decline in student literacy.

To test this statement, I conducted this study.

The survey was conducted in 8 “A”, 8 “B” and 9 “A” classes. A total of 50 students were surveyed, the vast majority of whom - 36 students or 72% of respondents - stated that they participate in Internet communication. Further questions were asked to those who answered the preliminary question positively, i.e. 36 students.

The answers turned out to be quite clear.

Answers to question No. 5 “Why do you use the Albanian language in Internet communication?” confirmed the assumptions of the authors of the resource www.psychology.ru that the main reason for using abbreviations is to save time when communicating.

Answering question No. 9, “Does using the Albanian language when communicating on the Internet affect your literacy in the classroom?”, 89% of those who participate in Internet communication stated that use of "Albanian language"does not affect their literacy at school. A similar position was confirmed by the answers to control questions (No. 6 and No. 7).

To further check the objectivity of the results obtained, a survey was conducted among teachers and linguists of our school. 75% of teachers also agreed with the statement that use of "Albanian language"does not affect literacy students in class.

Thus, the data obtained during the study confirmed the correctness of the hypothesis put forward.

Introduction

"Padonkaffsky", or "Albanian" yezig- a style of using the Russian language that spread in Runet at the beginning of the 21st century with phonetically almost correct, but deliberately incorrect spelling of words (the so-called errative), frequent use of profanity and certain cliches characteristic of slangs. Most often used when writing comments on texts in blogs, chats and web forums. Slang has given rise to many stereotypical expressions and Internet memes, in particular, the “preved” meme is associated with it.

1. Characteristics

The slang of bastards is already used in official documents (name of the partnership)

The main feature of the “padonkaf” style is the deliberate violation of the spelling norms of the Russian language (focused on etymology) while maintaining the graphic principles of reading and, in general, the same phonetic sequence. From the homophonic writing methods in a given position, the one that does not correspond to the spelling norm is selected - use A instead of unstressed O and vice versa, interchange of unstressed And, e And I, cc or ts instead of ts, ts, ds, Also wow And shi, why And now instead of live And shi, cha And now, sch instead of sch and vice versa, yea, yo, yu instead of initial ones I, e, yu, interchange of voiceless and voiced at the end of a word or before voiceless ( crosafcheg), and instead of f can be used in this position ff(modeled on the old Western European transmission of surnames like Smirnoff).

It is also common to merge words together without a space ( LOL). In other words, this is an “anti-norm” based on a consistent (or close to it) rejection of the existing normative choice of spellings (that is, in order to write in the jargon of bastards, one actually needs to master the existing norm). In addition, means that violate the graphic principles of reading are used less frequently: the interchange of voiceless and voiced not only at the end of a word ( dafai), as well as hard and soft (for example, bear). The latter phenomena are lexicalized (associated with specific words).

In addition, the “padonkaf” language includes specific vocabulary - usually common literary words, which are assigned special meanings/uses (jargon in the proper sense of the word): this is the word itself bastard, as well as expressions like zhzhosh, afftar, drink poison, hellish etc.

2. History

The style, based on deliberately incorrect spelling, spread spontaneously on the Internet as a grotesque reaction to numerous spelling errors in Internet publications and remarks. The immediate predecessor of “Albanian” was the jargon of users of the Fidonet computer network, specifically the echo conferences TYT.BCE.HACPEM and Ru.punk.rock, as well as Kaschenites, whose echo conference has been known since approximately the end of December 1998. This Runet phenomenon is close to LOLspeak, which is popular on the English-language Internet.

It can be assumed that such a language was widespread in Russia back in the 19th century among young people who wanted to stand out. In the novel “Kyukhlya” Yu. Tynyanov talks about Kuchelbecker’s neighbor in prison - the young daring Prince Obolensky, who was subsequently deprived of his rank and exiled to Siberia, who, undoubtedly, knowing perfectly well written Russian, wrote letters in a language close to Albanian. Here is one of those letters:

Daragoy Sased will call me, swearing Sergei Abalenskaya, I am the staff-captain of the Hussars regiment, I’m sitting, the devil only knows what, but for gambling and roulette, and the most important thing is that I beat the commander and wrote an official letter to the head of the division, Baron Budberg, that he is a lackey of the tsar, he has been sitting in Sviyaborgi for a whole year, how many They'll keep me in this pit, God knows.

It is believed that the appearance of padonkaff jargon on the Internet was due to the activities of Dmitry Sokolovsky, the administrator of the site udaff.com, better known as “Boa Constrictor.” In 2000, he began writing for a website with the self-explanatory names fuck.ru and fuckru.net, and then opened the website udaff.com, where he publishes his own and other people’s texts, which use toilet humor and obscenities. According to Sokolovsky himself, the first to distort words on the site fuck.ru was the author, who spoke under the nickname Linxy. Then for a long time he supported the well-known countercultural website down-culture.ru, which currently does not exist. In honor of Linksy, this language was originally called L-language.

2.1. Origin of the name "Albany"

The expression became widespread on LiveJournal when an American user scottishtiger (an American from Tacoma, Washington, DC, of Scottish descent), seeing the text in Russian (in this user post onepamop ), was indignant at why someone was writing on the American website livejournal.com in “a language he does not understand, and what kind of language it is in general.” User maxxximus called an “unknown” language Albanian. The next day, to the question “Why do you think that the comments were written for you?” scottishtiger replied:

Why? This is LiveJournal. American site, not Albanian. And I know that you speak two languages. Plus, being an American means the rest of the world has to adjust to me. But this is just my point of view.

In response, a flash mob called Albanian Lessons was organized in the Russian-language section of LiveJournal, which aimed to help an American learn Russian. In a couple of days scottishtiger received several thousand comments with “Albanian lessons” and just flood. The user was asked to apologize and write a post in his journal (in Russian) stating that he had already learned the Albanian language, that scottishtiger , in the end, he did. Perhaps only because, in addition to the magazine and mailbox, I received a huge number of SMS messages and calls on my mobile phone.

First Albanian lessons:

Lesson one. About the letter X. X. This is an important Albanian letter of the Russian alphabet. The fucking Albanian national word “dick” begins with it...

After some time, he reduced his activity (including turning off comments) due to the ongoing uncontrolled flooding. In 2010 the magazine was closed, in February 2011 it was already opened.

2.2. Spreading

The style became widespread on the Internet, and the deliberate obscenity and cynicism of the style receded, causing the areas of use to expand significantly. The jargon of bastards became widespread with the advent of blogs on the Internet, in which “bastards” left their “comments” (comments). Jargon had a strong influence on the development of LiveJournal language cliches, which gave rise to a number of common “comments”, such as “pervyynakh” (first comment), “afftar zhzhot”, “kill apsten”, “drink yada”, “yazva” (something bad) , “zachot”, “hellish soton”, etc. In accordance with the described norms, English words from the general Internet vocabulary, elements of slang and original expressions were also included in the jargon.

The language of Upyachka can be considered a follower of the language of bastards, although this “language” is too specific: basically it is a mixture of several individual words that for the most part do not carry a semantic load, for example: “Zhep ebrilo”, “Chocho”, “Adynadynadyn”, etc. .d.

Padonkov’s phrase “F Babruisk, zhivotnae!” became especially famous. The most likely version of the origin of this phrase is the work of counter-cultural writer Vladimir Sorokin:

You're Russian, aren't you? Were you born in Russia? Did you go to high school? Have you served in the army? Did you study at a technical school? Did you work at a factory? Did you go to Bobruisk? Did you go to Bobruisk? Did you go to Bobruisk? You went, huh? You went to Bobruisk, huh? Did you go? Why are you silent? Did you go to Bobruisk? A? Why are you mowing? A? It's stuck, right? Did you go to Bobruisk? Are you a dick? Did you go to Bobruisk? Did you go, bastard? Did you go, bastard? Did you go, bastard? Did you fucking go?

Vladimir Sorokin. Road accident.

4. In popular culture

References to the slang of bastards in literature, music, and cinema are not uncommon.

The parody group “The Nepodarki” performs songs in the slang of bastards.
The band “Azstskaya Sotona”, a parody black metal band formed based on an online legend, performs songs in the slang of bastards.
In the song “Grandma Asked” by the group “Lilies of the Valley” there are the lines:

About this unique phenomenon
I told Gordon in my spare time
Gordon answered me on a fashionable hairdryer:
“Burn, bitch!”

In Victor Pelevin’s work Helm of Horror, the character S’liff_zoSSchitan spoke the Padonkaf language. Also, in the work “Empire V” the main character, having tried the bottle “Tyutchev + Albanian source”, writes a poem in pure Albanian.
In the stories “Demons in the House” and “Career” by science fiction writer Alexander Rudazov, the gremlin Venya uses the language of bastards.

5. Possible prototypes

Transition from e To yo and from I To yea(ya krevedko) is a process that is partly the opposite of the historical process of the emergence of these letters: the letter “e” was introduced in 1783 as a replacement for “io”, and “ya” (or rather, its predecessors yus small and a iotated) appeared as ligatures εν and ıa respectively. However, the phonetic meaning of the small yus when it appeared was different (e is nasal, not ja), and in addition, iotated vowels and io were also used after consonants (where they meant one sound), which is not always typical for the padonki language.

The Belarusian language has adopted a phonetic spelling that directly reflects akanye and some other phonetic changes that are also found in the Russian language (see Spelling of the Belarusian language). “O” is preserved only under stress; in the absence of stress, “A” is always written ( malaco), Russian tsya/tsya corresponds tsa (bayazza), some doubled consonants correspond to single ones ( Russians) etc. Proposals for similar reforms for the Russian language were put forward in the early 60s of the 20th century, and cartoons appeared on them in the Krokodil magazine. The Belarusian system is also based on the phonetic principle and does not represent a deliberate departure from the etymological one.

The play by the futurist Ilya Zdanevich “Yanka Krul Albanskaya”, written and first staged in 1916, is written in a mixture of abstruse and Russian, and in the printed edition the Russian text is deliberately typed without observing the normative rules of spelling (with a general orientation towards phonetic notation like the Belarusian one). Some excerpts from the play:

The article by G. Guseinov (2000), who introduced the concept of errative, contains links to online publications by Dmitry Galkovsky, who already in the plays of the 1990s widely used the style that the authors of the sites udaff.com and fuck.ru subsequently strived for.

A similar phenomenon occurred (and continues) in American English, when styles and jargons arose in order to simplify the strongly phonetically inadequate literary English - see, for example, the titles of discs and individual songs of the Slade group.
