INTERNET AS A FACTOR IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MULTILINGUALITY

Abstract

In the modern world, the Internet has become an integral part of life for most people, and children are no exception. Rapid technological progress and availability of online resources have created new opportunities for children's learning and development. At the same time, the question of the influence of the Internet on the development of language skills in children has become a topical issue. Of particular interest is the influence of the Internet on the development of polylingual personality in children – the ability to use and understand several languages. This article discusses some theoretical aspects of the research problem and presents the results of a sociolinguistic survey, which showed that most modern children have access to the Internet, many parents consider the influence of Internet resources to be positive on the child's language development, while the majority also considered the Internet to be the cause of speech delay in children.
