WORD FORMATION IN MODERN ENGLISH

Аннотация

This paper explores the dynamic and evolving processes of word formation in modern English. With the rapid development of science, technology, and global communication, English continues to expand its vocabulary through various morphological and lexical means. The study examines the main types of word formation such as derivation, compounding, conversion, clipping, blending, acronym formation, borrowing, and coinage. Each method is analyzed with relevant examples drawn from contemporary English usage, including slang, media, and digital communication. Furthermore, the paper highlights how social and technological changes influence language innovation and the creation of new terms. Understanding these processes is essential not only for linguists but also for language learners, educators, and anyone interested in the structure and adaptability of the English language.
