Grammatical side of the speech should not be underestimate, because the language utterances can be 
effectively interpreted at the intersection of the grammar and the discourse context. I.P. Martinez noted that 
the grammar of youth language practice is characterized by the following features: a significant simplification 
of grammatical rules, intentioned ignoring of complex turns of speech, incomplete sentences reasoned by 
general background knowledge of communicants. It is also possible to add the lack of coherence in the 
discourse, inversion in sentences, tautologies and excessive use of enhancers of adjectives and adverbs, 
distortion of orthographic, orthoepic and punctuation norms of the language. A.B. Stanstrom and others 
emphasized the frequency of the use of several negations in the speech of young people that contradicts to the 
norms of English grammar, the changing of irregular verbs and use them as correct in the past tense, the adding 
more
to the adjective in the comparative degree where it is not required and so much more. 
At the level of orthography among the English-speaking youth, it can be noticed a lot of new variations of 
words. For example, nuffink, transformed from nothing, originates from cockney, vernacular of the middle 
and lower classes of the population of London; cos, reduced from because. The distortion of auxiliary verbs 
with combinations has been transformed, presumably due to phonetic assimilation, for example dunno (do not 
know), wunnit (was not it), dunnit (does not it). This tendency has already moved from a purely youth to a 
common speech. In the Kazakh language, arose the adaptation of the proper names to the morphological norms 
of the Russian language due to of its influence. So, the names, which are not inflected according to the norms 
of orthography, began to modify and inflect: Айнура (from Айнұр) - Айнуре, с Айнурой, об Айнуре; 
Жанара (from Жанар) – Жанару, Жанаре [2, c.96]. It is also grammatically incorrect to put the stress at the 
not last syllable in the proper names. This contradicts the norms of the Kazakh language, which are 
nevertheless not observed in the current language. These once-emerged innovations of young people are 
already an integral part of everyday speech and the adult generation for the current day, although not accepted 
in the literary language. Russian-speaking young people are as much inclined to violate the rules of ort hope 
and orthography, which are catch the eye in the social networks.
The verbal system is highly subject to changes in youth discourse. Reduction and simplification in the 
agreement of the predicate with the subject, the no agreement of the times are the most frequent forms of 
violation of the rules. The lowering of sentence members is a common feature for youth discourse regardless 
of linguistic culture. Availability of the common background knowledge, which allows to speak by reducing 
the speech to the minimum can serve as explanation of the lowering of obligatory components. Such form of 
statements corresponds to the principle of quantity in speech communication, according to which during it 
shall be said no more and less that is required by this situation. Despite the fact that this phenomenon is intrinsic 
not only to youth but also to the stand-up genre in general, in the youth discourse there has been the highest 
degree of spontaneity, rapid speech-reaction to the speech-stimulus (*often including game elements, 
demonstration of resourcefulness), the desire to reduce utterances. Abundance of negative constructs in 
sentences is seen noticed among British teenagers comparing to adults. This is due to the cognitive and 
psychological features of teenage years, when communicants need self-affirmation in the course of 
communication, a desire to express themselves clearly and categorically is realized. The functions of negative 
constructions depend on the context.
V.I. Karasik noted that the communicative tonality implies the emotional-style format of communication 
that arises during the process of mutual influence between communication participants, determines their 
changing settings, the choice of means of communication [3, p.388]. For example, communication depending 
on the situation can be regarded by communicants in different ways: in one case as information, in another - 
entertainment, and sometimes as an empty conversation or even a work of art, etc. The following types of 
communicative tonality are singled out: informative tonality, which is a serious communication for the purpose 
of communicating any information; phatic tonality, which are different by dynamism in order to create 
comfortable communication conditions; status tonality, in which communicants mutually position each other; 
playful tonality, which is characterized as a frivolous reduced emotional communication on a short distance; 
solemn tonality, confirming group identity; Ideological tonality, which distinguishes "one's own" from 
"another's"; fascinate tonality, in which attention is paid to the aesthetic side of communication, pleasure from 
the perception of what has been said; memorial tonality, in which one communicant emphasizes his superiority 
over the other [4, p.390]. In addition, there is also a hypothetical, aggressive, esoteric, manipulative tonalities 
are allocated, the name of which speak to themselves in their determination. Tonality can define both verbal 
means of expression, and nonverbal (Patting on the back of the interlocutor, frowning browse, a side long 
glance etc.). Phonetic aspects of communication (Tone of voice, intonation, melodic and temporal components, 
prosody) are also to be considered important [5]. 
Youth discourse in their majority of its personality-oriented, often usable, logically excludes the importance 
of the faces aspect of communication, because the verbal ways of expressing thoughts and their aesthetic level 

308
in this case is not fundamentally important. Also to the untypical tonality for youth communication can be 
attributed esoteric, as a result of which mysticism and accordingly all related to it (rituals, magic) were among 
the least popular among the possible interests. Therefore, such a tonality is possible only in joking situations. 
Informative tonality could be possible for youth discourse because despite the frivolity of communication, the 
goal of any interaction, most often is the exchange of information. This does not mean that the conversation 
should take place completely without unnecessary emotions. Tonality can change more than once during the 
same conversation.
CONCLUSIONS. 
Of course, it is possible to speculate about the tonality on the basis of the way, which is 
used by communicants in order to interpret the mode of communication in this situation. This discourse is a 
good example, in which the tonalities are changed quickly, and several rather contradictory ones are presented. 
But taking into consideration the spontaneity and speed of the reaction of youth communication, such 
transitions are very typical for discourse. In general, in youth discourse, it is possible to observe a wide range 
of palettes of different tonalities.
