Most neologisms in our work were formed whether by word composition or sense development (more than 80%), which are the `easiest', as one doesn't have to invent anything new, just combining two words together or implying a new meaning to an old word. Minor word building types (blending, acronimization) are less employed. That happens due to the flash-like rhythm of modern life.
While analyzing spheres of usage, we came to such a conclusion, that the most, as we can say, renewable branch is that of sociology (45 references out of 113), as it is the most developing sphere of the human life at this point. A great number of the new words deal with men and women relationships, as well as, with homosexual affairs, as a result of the sexual revolution.
The more active usage of the computer and computer technologies (20 references out of 113) give rise to more new words connected with this topic, the same can be applied to the mobile/cell phones, they are more employed and thus have more functions, which results in the appearance of new words.
We can also reckon that the bigger number of neologism has paradigms (36%), that shows - the words are more employed and are being accepted by the language.
More words just acquire new meaning; as a result, a new word is born (46%). The `old' words were not used in a present meaning, due to its previous non - necessity.
As a total issue, we can mark, that the enlargement of the English language vocabulary, as well as any other language, is closely connected with the humans' social life. Every new event in our life finds its reflection in the language, and the faster the life is the simpler the ways, thanks to which our language is enlarged.
