Abstract
The article focuses on the importance of learning the process of neologization of a foreign language for the formation of the linguistic competence of university students. The lexical composition of any language is subject to the influence of various linguistic and extralinguistic factors, since it is a fairly open level of the language system. As a result, new words appear in the language - neologisms. At present, the lexical composition of the German language is expanding quite intensively. The author tries to answer the question: Should students of non-linguistic profiles of training in foreign language classes focus on the problem of language neologization, and if so, how can the study of neologisms be used to form students’ foreign language competence? The purpose of the article is to analyze and clarify the main areas of study of neologisms by students of non-linguistic training profiles in the process of foreign language education. The article highlights the main areas of study by students of neologisms (cognitive, general developmental, educational, educational) and the basic tasks that the teacher solves when studying the processes of neologization of the German language: to raise students’ awareness of the history and culture of the people, to acquaint them with the current changes taking place in the language space countries of the language being studied; use new words as a source of background knowledge; explain to students what are the actual ways of word formation; expand their knowledge of a new phenomenon in the German language - Denglisch. Students will also learn about the activities of the society of fighters for the purity of their native language (Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache). In conclusion, it is noted that the involvement of students in practical classes in the German language to consider such an interesting linguistic phenomenon as neologization motivates them to learn the language, in general, has a positive effect on the success of the formation of foreign language communicative competence.
