Abstract:

The purpose of this work is to study the methodological potential of neologisms in the language training for students, who are educated as specialists in the sphere of transport. The authors understand the neologism as a word, the meaning of a word, or a phrase that has recently appeared in the language. The work is relevant due to the fact that the language is a dynamic system, and its composition is constantly updated. It is worth mentioning, that neologisms can appear in both common and terminological vocabulary. In the first case, they usually become a part of the journalistic or colloquial style of speech at the beginning, and in the second one they are the part of scientific and scientific-journalistic style. The article reviews the examples of both types of neologisms in the sphere of transport. A statistical analysis of the text sources' intensity with neologisms is carried out for the purpose of an objective description. The language training of transport university students involves the formation of their skills in order to work with modern sources, so the ability to recognize and understand neologisms is an important part of it.
