Lexis / Lexicon, Vocabulary, Lexico-semantic system, Lexical dynamics, Neologism / NeologyAbstract
This paper explores how the lexico-semantic system of modern English is evolving under pressure. While traditional mechanisms like affixation, conversion, and borrowing are still active, the study argues that extra-linguistic factors—specifically globalization and digitalization—are now the primary drivers of change. By tracing lexical evolution through the first quarter of the 21st century, the author identifies key trends in neologisation. The analysis covers various discourse types, from technical jargon to casual social media communication. The results offer a fresh perspective on English as an adaptive system, providing practical insights for lexicographers and educators.
