Abstract
The relevance of the study is related to the need to study new word-building phenomena in various fields of Internet communication as one of the most dynamic communication systems. The aim of the study is to identify productive word-building types and models recorded in Russian-language texts on the Internet in 2018-2024. The research material, which is introduced into scientific discourse for the first time, represents lexical and word-formation innovations in the texts of blogs, comments on them, and comments on social networks. The study used descriptive and classification methods, structural-semantic, word-building, contextual types of analysis in the new aspects: cognitive, pragmatic, and socio-cultural. As a result of the conducted research, the external and internal factors of neologization were determined: extralinguistic factors are associated with economic, socio-political, cultural, and ideological changes in society; intra- linguistic factors are conditioned, in particular, by the law of linguistic economy. Derivational trends in the field of Internet communication are characterized: trends towards internationalization and democratization. Productive word-building models and formants, of both foreign and native origin, have been identified. The social conditionality of all the considered neologisms is manifested not only in the choice of word-formation formants and models, but also in the nature of the source words naming actual, socially important realities characterizing new social relations. The researchers regard the manifestation of the linguocreative personality of the authors of blogs and comments in the implementation of expressive-evaluative, and ludic functions of neologisms in Internet texts. The obtained results are important both for the theory of derivatology, neology, and Internet linguistics in general, and for lexicographic practice.
