NEOLOGISMS IN MODERN ENGLISH: LINGUISTIC AND SOCIOCULTURAL FEATURES

Abstract

This article examines the role and development of neologisms in modern English. The rapid growth of technology, globalization, social media, and cultural transformation has significantly influenced the vocabulary of the English language. The study analyzes the structural, semantic, and sociolinguistic characteristics of neologisms and identifies the major factors contributing to their emergence. Using the IMRAD structure, the research investigates the classification of neologisms, their functions in communication, and their impact on linguistic evolution. The findings reveal that neologisms reflect social changes and enrich language by adapting it to contemporary realities.
