Abstract

   Currently, due to the course of globalization and the rapid process of digitalization, changes are taking place in the language. Almost all phenomena occurring in society manifest themselves in language. The article examines the sociolinguistic aspects of linguistic changes that have occurred in the Kazakh language in the context of globalization and digital transformation.

   The purpose of the article is to identify the impact and sociolinguistic features of the globalization process and the work on digitalization of Kazakhstan on the state language.

   The materials of the work include new language units, texts in Kazakh, on government websites egov.kz, astanahub.com, primeminister.kz, elicense.kz, new language uses found in the speech of Kazakh language speakers. This article discusses such problems as understanding and analyzing linguistic changes that have occurred as a result of digitalization, as well as finding ways to preserve and develop the Kazakh language in the context of globalization and technological progress. This article attempts to identify the main trends in the development of the modern globalized world and their impact on the development of the Kazakh language, which allows us to understand the direction of the dynamics of linguistic processes in modern society.
