Word-building Elements as an Object of Linguistic and Cultural Research
Abstract
The problems of the formation of new words in a language have been relevant in linguistics since its inception, but there is still no consensus on the understanding of neologism in the proper linguistic sense. In Uzbek linguistics, neologisms are studied from the positions of stylistic, psycholinguistic, denotative, structural and historical theories, which are based on the criteria of novelty of origin, denoted denotation, novelty of the form and meaning of the word, novelty of the use of the unit in the literary language, as well as in the speech of individual native speakers. Foreign linguistics is dominated by the lexicographic theory of the new word, in which neologisms include words that are not registered in dictionaries.
