Abstract
The author analyses the causes of the changes in the contents and the axiological component of the notions ‘native language’ and ‘native speaker’ in sociolinguistics in the 20-21 centuries. It is shown that in the epoch of mass migration the four basic criteria defining the native language (origin, competence, function, identification) often come in collision, which makes sociolinguists drop the prototypical models of the ‘native language’ and ‘native speaker, relying instead on models based on one criteria only.
