NEOLOGY: PROCESSES OF CREATING NEW NAMES IN FRENCH
The article discusses the main problems of the modern French language neology (the study of neologisms) and neography (the theoretical and practical study of describing neologisms in dictionaries). Linguistic changes in the era of political, economic and cultural transformations require new names, activating the word-formation system of the language. The extensive nature of neologism creation in the French language at the turn of the century, its significant impact on the cultural and speech situation these days has led to the increase of interest in the problems, related to fairly young, but rapidly developing areas of linguistic knowledge.
