Abstract

Background: In the 21st century, in the Ukrainian language, as a result of a number of extralinguistic and intralinguistic factors, there has been a significant increase in the amount of various lexical units that fill in spontaneously arising nominative lacunas. Therefore, we believe that the outlined problem of the development of the lexical-semantic system is quite relevant and requires its thorough research. Aim: to consider the main tendencies in the development and functioning of the Ukrainian language lexical structure in the 21st century. Results: The article is focused on the linguistic analysis of the main features characterising the development of the Ukrainian vocabulary in the 21st century. The corpus of lexemes (over 500 units) collected from mass media, artistic and Internet discourses, as well as some from colloquial speech, served as the study material. As a result of the analysis, it was found out that the main sources of enrichment of the modern Ukrainian lexical-semantic system are as follows: 1) derivation of various neologisms based on national and foreign word-forming resources; 2) external new borrowings mainly from the English language and its American variant, as well as to a lesser extent from Italian, French, Japanese, German, Spanish,` and Russian languages; 3) colloquial uncodified neologisms; 4) various social dialectics (jargonisms and argotisms); 5) revived words. The author identifies and analyzes the most important trends in the development of the lexical structure of modern Ukrainian, which turned out to be effective within this period, namely: nationalization, internationalization, active use of bookish words, purification, colloquialization, anthropocentrism, feminization, etc. The strengthening of the analyzed trends demonstrates that the lexical system of modern Ukrainian is open, it is dynamically developing, responding to all the challenges of time and society. Discussion: The intensive implementation of the outlined trends, being closely interconnected and interrelated, convincingly proves that the lexical-semantic system of the Ukrainian language of the 21st century is changing for the better. However, some negative or undesirable language processes have also been identified, which are to be seen by the specialists in philology. The prospects of further research lie in the functional and stylistic analyses of native and borrowed new lexemes.
