ON COINING POLITICAL NEOLOGISMS

Alla Petrovna Miniar-Beloroutcheva

Abstract


Words belong to the most movable language stratum. They reflect everything that
occurs in people’s life by verbalizing all the new objects, actions, activities, facts, or notions. Never before has the English language enriched its vocabulary as quickly as today in the age of Information when a word becomes the main tool of controlling and forming human behaviour. The article analyses the causes and ways of coining, socialization and usage of political neologisms.


Keywords


political neologisms, coining, socialization, usage, the age of Information, language evolution.
