Keywords:

This article explores the linguistic foundations of working with newly coined words in the English language. It examines the structural and semantic features of neologisms, focusing on their formation processes, functional characteristics, and integration into the lexical system. Particular attention is paid to the role of sociocultural factors in the emergence of new vocabulary and the methods employed in their study and categorization. The research highlights the importance of neologisms in enriching the lexicon and reflects on their dynamic nature in contemporary linguistic practice. This study contributes to the field of lexicography and neology by providing insights into the mechanisms of vocabulary innovation and development.
