Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the analysis of the relation between processes of cultural globalization, dissolution of language boundaries and completion of the language field with vibrations in the scale of hierarchy of a system of values in the national language image of the world. The study of transformation of the bases of the national cultural codes, attitudes towards the national cultural traditions and processes of development of the living modern language (changes in frequency of usage of a series of lexical units, completion of the language field, paths and speeds of penetration of new lexical units) is offered as one of the methods of the investigation of the specificity of national processes of accelerated cultural adaptation.
