Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of lexical new formations that have appeared in the Russian language over the past 15-20 years. The source of the language material was the Wiktionary, rubric "Neologisms.ru". Following N. Z. Kotelova, by neologism, there meant a new word in form and / or some content, arising in a certain period of time and unusual (brand new) for most speakers, as well as the updated vocabulary, including internal borrowings. As a result of a multi-stage procedure, there were selected 139 neologisms that were not recorded at the time of the study in lexicographic sources, as well as in the lexicographic database of St. Petersburg State University. It was those 139 lexical units that served as the object of analysis in this article. The article presents the results of the analysis of the selected neologisms being identified in terms of frequency and speech, as well as from the point of view of the thematic attribution. The peculiarities of the functioning of these neologisms, and their frequency characteristics, were studied using the National Corpus of the Russian language. The research has shown that the most important extralinguistic factors affecting the ongoing linguistic processes are socio-political and social relations, a high rate of scientific and technological progress, the growth and increase of cultural and interpersonal ties. In addition to the activation of these groups, the formed vocabulary reflects the process of the expanding vocabulary of the Russian language due to an advanced derivational system that allows the formation of new words on the basis of both native Russian and borrowed vocabulary. In general, the identification of lexical neo formations demonstrated the mobile role of Wiktionary in fixing new words of the Russian language.
Keywords: neology, neography, modern Russian, the Russian National Corpus, Wiktionary, thematic group.
