Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of changes in the language behavior of Ukrainians under the influence of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, which began on February 24, 2022. For the study, a voluntary online survey was conducted (1,520 respondents from all regions of Ukraine aged from 13 to 66+ years). The questions of the survey covered the subjective definition of language behavior before and after the full-scale invasion, the peculiarities of code-switching (Ukrainian and Russian), situational use of Russian language before and after the invasion (with parents, spouse, own children, friends, at work, in public space, with strangers, in social media) and consumption of Russian-language content before and after the invasion (Russian television, literature, music, films and series, blogs, as well as Ukrainian Russian-language shows, films, series, music and blogs). Some questions were devoted to desired language behavior in the future, the reaction of the environment, rollbacks to the language behavior practiced before the invasion, and difficulties in changing language behavior. Respondents also indicated the reasons, which caused the change in language behavior, described difficulties and shared additional observations. The article analyzes the results of the survey; how various factors influence on the change of language behavior (gender, age, region, education). Additionally, the experience of being in the war zone and resettlement were analyzed. In addition to the usual statistical calculations of the survey results, the econometric probit-regression model was also used in order to determine which factors strengthen and weaken the probability of a change in language behavior to a more proUkrainian one. The study showed that the pro-Ukrainian vector dominates in all groups that took part in the survey.
