Abstract
The article presents a crucially important the contemporary issue of a technical language and its influence on technical culture and popular culture. Many experts emphasise that a language is the most significant feature concerning creating culture. In this view, it may be claimed that a technical language is one of the components and creators of man’s technical culture which then influences the development of popular culture. Its considerable influence on the development of technology, and connected with it technical culture, may by proven by a fact that the names of particular culture ages in the history of man derive from the tools operated by man in a given period. There is Neolithic, Bronze, Iron culture and lately IT and information culture. Words are also tools of thinking and thoughts are the reflection of reality including the technical reality.
