The Impact of Extralingual Factors on the Language Situation of Modern Ukraine

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research is to study the impact of extralingual factors on the current language situation of Ukraine in the context of the dehumanization and cosmopoli-tanization of the modern globalized world. The research employed such methods as analysis of open sources and empirical data of sociological research, content analysis of Internet publications and factor analysis, and observation. The results of the study show that the language situation in Ukraine has radically changed over the past few years in terms of its main parameters: quantitative, qualitative, and evaluative. The main factor of these changes is hybrid and direct Russian ag-gression, which has become the greatest threat to political independence and terri-torial integrity of Ukraine, as well as the existence of the Ukrainian nation. The analysis evidenced that despite the powerful destructive influence of various ex-tralinguistic factors on the language situation in the state, its evaluation charac-teristics have significantly improved. Constant monitoring and systematic compre-hensive analysis of the language situation will contribute to the harmonization of the language space of Ukraine.
