Summary/Abstract: Within the context of dynamic development of computer-mediated communication the metalinguistic nature of its textual base gains special importance. Scientific support of the rapidly expanding Internet content involves complex and discursive implementation of generalizations together with the models of theoretical apparatus of the language. Active development of secondary semiotic systems, formalization of natural and artificial languages determine the necessity of engaging a wide linguistic paradigm in the infor-mation sphere – for systematic and consistent representation of semantics and solution of applied problems. The modern linguistic paradigm is characterized by practical feasibility enriched by interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and cross disciplinary models. The specificity of computer-mediated discourse, due to the content of the lingua informational format of modern communication, involves both processes: permanent formalization of semantics of empirical material and development of metalinguistic categories. Possessing substantial metalinguistic potential, the significance of the Universal has gained special dynamics in the field of comput-er-mediated discourse, visible even on the conservative grammatical level. Metalexical modeling of language relations in the area of computer-mediated communication is in high practical demand. It is also relevant in the theoretical aspect of syncretic knowledge.
