Abstract

The article is devoted to analyze productive ways of English word formation in mobile communications. Due to the rapid development of information and communication technologies, the vocabulary of all languages, and English in particular, is being enriched with new lexical items to denote innovation in the field of mobile communications. This means that communication is characterized by the maximum speed of transmission and receipt of the necessary information, which makes mobile communication an integral attribute of modern man. Now it is the time to summarize the information that will outline the features of the conceptual system “Mobile Communications” and the ways and specifics of its use in linguistics. The relevance of the study is focused on the need to analyze the widespread use of new vocabulary in the field of mobile communication technologies, the importance and specificity of this field. The theoretical and practical analysis of works devoted to the research of the English-speaking sphere of mobile communication which is carried out, the essence of the conceptualterminological system “Mobile communication”, lexical and semantic, structure are revealed. The material showed that along with such terms as composition, syntax, secondary nomination, and affixation, the most productive in this area is word formation using abbreviation. Attention is drawn to the fact that the SMS language is based on abbreviations and conventions, which are actively used by a wide range of mobile users to send short text messages. It has been noted that SMS language, “new language” or “test language” is practically meta-language and not so much translated as localized, adapted to the linguistic and cultural norms of its users [Language Localization]. It is concluded that the new language differs from the national language by specific vocabulary, phraseology, graphics, word formation, the absence of punctuation marks, which are often replaced by icons. The influence of modern scientific and technological technologies causes the emergence of new words, phrases and terms in the modern English language of mobile communications in term of expressions, and the terminological units of mobile communication technologies reflect both the structural and lexical features of modern English language skills.
