Abstract
In the vocabulary of the modern Kazakh language, there is an active process related to the emergence of many new words in the era of globalization because of the need for words verbalizing new knowledge that appeared in various spheres of public life due to the development of market relations, the intensification of cultural and political contacts, and the emergence of new sciences and nanotechnologies. All of these factors contributed to the “neological boom”. This article studies neologisms in the Kazakh language, replenished by internal and external sources. The purpose of this scientific work is to classify neologisms, identify methods of derivation, and identify the frequency of their use in the speech of language personalities. In this scientific work, neologisms of the national language are described and classified, the ways of their formation are revealed, the degrees of competence of individuals in new words are revealed, conclusions are drawn about the novelty of neologisms, the applicability of certain types of nomination, and the ways of formation. The work results have theoretical significance for the development of Kazakh linguistics since they contribute to developing the theory of a new word in linguistics. The main research methods are socio-linguistic monitoring to identify the degree of competence of native speakers, a psycholinguistic experiment, a questionnaire survey, and participant observation.
