LANGUAGE INNOVATIONS AS A MEANS OF CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH VOCABULARY ENRICHMENT
Abstract
The article deals with the problems of vocabulary enrichment in contemporary English. Language innovations reflect the person’s world perception and convey new realia. Most new words are formed according to models existent in the language. The main models are affixation, word-composition, abbreviation, as well as changing word meaning. Shifts in word meaning and “birth” of new words are particularly noticeable in contemporary English and they are of vital importance to language innovation processes.
