NEOLOGISMS IN MODERN ENGLISH: HOW NEW WORDS ARE FORMED

Аннотация

Language is a living system that constantly evolves as society, technology, and culture change. One of the key aspects of this evolution is the emergence of neologisms – new words or expressions created to describe new concepts, inventions, and trends. 
In modern English, neologisms appear frequently, especially in areas such as technology, social media, science, and entertainment.Neologisms can be formed in several ways. One of the most common methods is compounding, where two or more 
words are combined to create a new term. Examples include “cybersecurity” (cyber + security) and “laptop” (lap + top). Another popular method is blending, where parts of two different words merge to form a new one, such as “brunch” (breakfast + lunch) 
and “motel” (motor + hotel).
