The research results are applicable to teaching Slavic languages in higher education, improving programs for teaching native and foreign languages in secondary educational institutions; applied areas such as automated translation, language training programs, parallel and monolingual text corpora etc., further development of comparative and theoretical linguistic research, language modelling, improvement of public discourse including mass media language and metalanguage of educational literature.
