ENGLISH NEOLOGISMS AS INDICATORS OF SOCIAL CHANGES

Abstract

In the present paper the common semantic fields among the English neologisms are represented with the aim to show the characteristic features of the social life of the English speaking people and the reflection of those features in the language. The neologisms are taken from authentic and naturally occurring language use to show their pragmatic and stylistic values. The new words can express the political, economic, scientific and other aspects of social life and also the change of the society’s way of thinking. We are reassured that neologisms reflect transparently the change in the people’s perception of life in general, they express the problems existent in the society in the given period, the ways people are looking for to solve the problems and the struggle between different parties of people who do not share opinions
