The article deals with the phenomenon of English lingua franca (ELF) and its rapid expansion
on the territory of Europe influencing cross-cultural communication. With globalization processes
growing worldwide, cross-cultural awareness is bound to be enhancing the use of a common language for
international interactions. The expanding circle of English incorporates its variety which is used for crosscultural
communication exclusively by non-native speakers. There is no one who speaks English lingua
franca as a native language. Thus, the analysis of its functional value should be focused on the success of
communication rather than on the number of deviations from the norms. The functional range of ELF
allows its users to exploit it more liberally without being bound to any specific norms or regulations. The
paper illustrates the influence of the linguistic situation in Europe on the formation of a new type of the
language of intercultural communication (English lingua franca) with reference to the professional culture
of seafarers. It has been taken into consideration that international seafarers use ELF for their
communication, both oral and written, thus contributing to the process of de-standardization of the
English language. The content analysis of certain texts (extracts from seafarers’ professional
correspondence) shows some independence of communicative effect from correct / incorrect grammatical
and structural form of the utterance based on the use of professional sublanguage and its implicit effect.
English lingua franca is promptly becoming an effective communicative instrument of mighty force. It
represents a certain cultural segment and enjoys sustainable development.
