Comparative analysis of Ukrainian and English neologisms in the context of political discourse

Abstract

The article considers the features of formation of neologisms in the modern Ukrainian and English political discourses. We set the following task: to analyze the actual ways of word formation in the modern political discourse. Lexical peculiar features of political discourses of the Ukraine, the Great Britain an the USA are scrutinized. Language is one of those human activity, which one of the first reflects changes in social, political, economic and cultural and other aspects of human activity. Living language develops very rapidly, it is under the influence of internal and external factors, it adapts to the constant changes in social, cultural and scientific life. Each changes in the society generates new words and terms, i.e.the creation of new words in the language is carried out as a reflection in the language of social needs to express new concepts. New words in the language are reflection of an objective reality. Neoplasms in a given historical period are defined by both internally speech and externally speech factors that play a key role in the study of certain linguistic changes. In understanding the neology as lexical renovation of the national language by borrowing new formations and new meanings, it should be noted the importance of this process for the phenomenon of political discourse

because the native speaker’s consciousness is formed by means of the language. Therefore, changing the lexical system, conventional political sender reconstructs the cognitive recipient field, manipulates his or her consciousness, and consequently directs his or her political actions.
