Summary/Abstract: The jargon of informatics developed very quickly in the Romanian language especially in the last two decades. Computer influenced the speech of young people particularly in lexical aspect. The nouns and verbs borrowed from English and used in conversations on the chat also entered the everyday speech of the youth. Some of them even engender whole lexical groups. There are categories of words which are of interest from the point of view of morphology, semantics, spelling and orthoepy. Anglicisms are lexemes which cause problems in linguistic integration and adaptation.
