Features of updating English vocabulary (based on neologisms of information technologies)

The article concerns the appearance of IT neologisms in English. The enrichment of language happens mainly through addition of new words, meanings, expressions and idioms. The development of vocabulary is directly proportional to the process of neologization. The authors provide a typology of neologisms in the IT industry. Given examples of computer technology neologisms have the main nominative function, as well as the stylistic one. In the course of this research the authors note the emerging trend of idiomatization of neologisms-terms due to the dynamic development of science. The analysis of computer technology neologisms and IT term-neologisms makes it possible to conclude that the lexical structure of modern English is updating regularly, thereby reflecting new trends in the word-formation system.
