The Role of Speech Practice in The Activation of Neologisms
Abstract
This article analyzes the influence of speech practice on the activation of neologisms based on materials from the German and Uzbek languages. The study examines the emergence of new lexical units and their connection with communicative needs, social changes, and discourse environments. Speech practice is interpreted as an important mechanism through which neologisms are created, semantically shaped, socially accepted, and gradually integrated into the language system. Particular attention is paid to the role of modern media, internet communication, and digital technologies in accelerating the spread of new words. Using examples such as Homeoffice, Covidiot, masofaviy ta’lim, and onlayn to‘lov, the article demonstrates how neologisms develop through speech practice and eventually become stable lexical units.
