Abstract

The purpose of this article is examin in detail the forms of nonce words by individuals in relation to the formation of new words. Second chapter is devoted to the problem of differentiation between potential and occasional words. The paper analyzes general and particular features of occasionalisms and potential words. Third chapter is devoted to the issue of some promising and not fully studied aspects of lexical contamination. The relevance of the article is due to the fact that, despite the numerous works devoted to contamination, the following aspects of it still remain unresolved or not fully developed: strategies for decoding the constituent components of the contaminant, the direction of decoding the contaminant is analytical or synthetic, the functions of contaminated formations and their linguistic creative potential. As a result, each researcher identified different ranges, terms, and types of classification, and it was confirmed that the difficulty of such a multifaceted type classification was to prove the broad function of the lexical contamination. These and some other issues of further study of contamination are considered in this article.
