THE STRUCTURAL AND SEMANTIC FEATURES OF ENGLISH MASS MEDIA NEOLOGISMS FROM PERSPECTIVE OF PSYCHOLINGUISTIC

Abstract

The emergence of mass media neologisms is closely tied to the rapid development of technology and the ever-changing nature of society. This study aims to examine the linguistic characteristics and cognitive processes involved in the formation of neologisms in the context of mass media. By analyzing the structural and semantic features of mass media neologisms, the research seeks to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamic nature of language and its evolution. The study will first establish the terminological basis of neology, exploring the various processes involved in the creation of new words, such as borrowing, derivation, compounding, blending, and abbreviation. It will then classify neologisms based on their formation processes and semantic categories, highlighting the diverse ways in which new linguistic forms emerge.
