Abstract

Current paper is dedicated to analysis of euphemistic neologisms and its translation into Ukrainian language. Rationale is determined by rapid lexical growth of English language, caused by processes of integration and globalization, and up-to-date lack of research in neology. The determination of euphemistic neologisms translation distinctions is subject to future research, aimed to unhide its way of creation. The necessity of studying neologisms in English and Ukrainian languages is based on a great amount of uncharted word-borrowing processes and incomplete key notions determinations. Terms and types of neologisms and euphemisms have been determined as contents those form the notion of euphemistic neologism. Different ways of neologisms and euphemisms classifications were examined. In addition to this, specifications of its formation and use have been examined, based on English language publicistic texts, such as interview, articles, reportages those are published in world-wide BBC Corporation. Euphemistic neologisms general functionality in English and Ukrainian languages has been studied out, translation methods and transformations those are used by author, solving communicative tasks, have been determined. Particular attention has been paid to analysis of euphemistic neologism functions in English language and to methods and transformations of its translation into Ukrainian language. The quantitative analysis results of performed research are produced in current paper.
