Abstract

The examination of neologism-related issues is a focal point in contemporary linguistics. Key concerns revolve around defining and assessing neologisms, as well as delineating all lexical phenomena encompassed by this concept. Emphasis is also placed on the genesis of neologisms, their integration into a language's lexicon, and their practical use. This article delves into the study of neology, scrutinizing the definition and categorization of neologisms in both Russian and Uzbek languages, which vary due to distinct approaches and concepts. By analysing the scholarly discourse of global and Uzbek experts, it is argued that a neologism in any language should ideally be unambiguous, conceptually motivated, concise, and capable of fitting into the word-formation structure, while aligning with phonetic and morphological systems. However, no single criterion can solely ensure effective communication. Notably, neologisms are dissected concerning their formation, revealing three main groups: borrowed neologisms, word-forming, and semantic neologisms.
