Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of current issues of neologization of Modern Greek language, the causes and areas of use of neologisms, trends in the development of neology and their impact on word formation in Modern Greek based on the material of leading Greek linguists. The focus of modern linguistic research on the study and analysis of modern trends in the evolution of Modern Greek in all its subsystems and elements is justified and emphasizes the urgency of this problem, which is due to constant changes in Modern Greek, which seeks to actively meet the challenges of modern society, therefore uses linguistic means to give names to new concepts or to outline new meanings of existing concepts. The study of patterns, problems and processes of rapid and productive development and, as a consequence, the renewal of the language, Modern Greek in particular, identified in the need to systematize and generalize the basic principles of enriching the lexical structure of Modern Greek with tools which, by meeting the needs of communication participants, help to overcome possible barriers in language. The essence of neology, its types, which determine the main directions of influence on the Modern Greek system, the scope of neologisms, which depends on extralinguistic factors determined by the latest trends in society, determine further prospects for studying the Modern Greek system exactly in the lexical aspect.
