Abstract: Language, as a dynamic social phenomenon, undergoes constant transformation influenced by various cultural, technological, and societal factors. One of the most significant manifestations of linguistic evolution is the emergence of neologisms—newly coined terms or expressions that reflect novel concepts, objects, or realities. In both the English and Uzbek languages, neologisms play a critical role in shaping communicative practices, reflecting not only the lexical innovation of speakers but also their pragmatic intentions and communicative strategies. The pragmatic meaning of neologisms, therefore, extends beyond their semantic interpretation, encompassing the social functions these terms fulfill within different communicative contexts.
