Abstract. The article discusses a hypothesis of a new world language of global communication - lingua franca. Three languages - English, Spanish and Chinese - are examined from the viewpoint of their modern status. The accent is made on the relation between language and culture (objective factor) and positioning of a concrete language and its perception (subjective factors). The statuses of the English, Spanish and Chinese languages are analyzed in the pragmatic, grammatical and phonetic aspects. Considering an alternative to the English language as lingua franca, the authors focus on the Spanish language which recently tends to reinforce its influence on world culture.
Key words and phrases: статус lingua franca, английский, испанский и китайский языки, универсальный язык коммуникации, гипотеза языка-дублера, прагматический, грамматический, фонетический аспекты, lingua franca status, the English, Spanish and Chinese languages, universal language of communication, "substitutional language" hypothesis, pragmatic, grammatical and phonetic aspects
