Abstract
The paper investigates the use of Anglicisms in Kazakh Language, focusing on the similarities and differences in their adoption and adaptation to the language system. In this regard, it is important to research the historical conditions of penetration of Anglicisms and describe lexical-semantic spheres of their use. Functions of this intensively growing lexical group reflect a wide range of social-political and cultural-humanitarian processes occurring in modern society. This active layer of lexical system of language, on the one hand, bears evidence of scientific and technical progress in Kazakhstan involved in the process of globalization, on the other hand, the problem of Anglicisms is an interesting object for sociolinguistic analysis. The conducted historical and sociolinguistic analysis allows us to draw a conclusion about changes both conceptual and the linguistic worldview of Kazakh people, about the new phenomena in its social and economic life, demanding language fixing.
