Abstract

In our publication, the specifics of the use of neologisms and the peculiarities of their translation into Ukrainian are analyzed on the basis of modern English language periodicals. Neologisms reflect the trends of modern English; they are constantly appearing and some of them become part of everyday lexicon. Therefore, the constant growth of the number of neologisms and their impact on language development is the cause of the relevance of the study. The purpose of the research is to analyze new lexical items at the morphological and semantic levels, identify trends in the creation and translation of lexical items in English-language media. The material of the study was 110 neologisms, selected by the method of continuous sampling from articles of modern English online publications. We have researched political articles of BBC and CNN. The prospect of further study of modern media English neologisms lies in the possibility to establish the cognitive mechanisms of derivational processes.
