The object of the resaerch is synchronous computer mediated communication and the subject of the research is the vocabulary created in the process of such communication. Internet is a unique platform for researches because it has both writing and verbal dialects. The aim of the research is to analyze modern slang units created in the process of synchronous computer mediated communication. The research material includes log files of twitch.tv chats that imply synchronous communication. The authro analyzes three extracts, each containing 1000 - 1200 messages. Synchronous communication means provide the best opportunity to create not only one's own language image on the Internet but also to create one's own world that can be described using a specific discourse. This is a discourse of a special type and each user combines the language representation of his or her own individuality with verbal parameters set by the discourse.
