Abstract

Objective. The objective of the article is to study the features of jargonisms and their use in Ukrainian and English languages; to investigate the specificity of jargonisms formation. Methods. The need to consider the ways of jargonisms formation in English and Ukrainian languages has led to recourse to the methods of historical and analytical approach, as well as analysis and generalization of scientific literature on the problems of jargonisms in both languages. Results. A lot of different changes, such as political, economic or cultural, have affected English-speaking society. However, the most visible processes are those concerning information and communication in English which have been changing over time and this is a natural process. The English lexical fund is constantly replenished with neologisms (words and phrases), nevertheless jargon, being one of the integral parts of the English vocabulary, quickly found its place in the Ukrainian language as well. Recently, English vocabulary is actively penetrating into books, everyday language and the film industry. Language is an inseparable element of culture, being a product and reflection of the culture of its speakers. In Ukrainian society, English vocabulary is perceived and memorized quite quickly. That is why this issue constantly needs research, as it changes and is supplemented with new words, and as a result, the culture of speech changes. This means that this topic does not lose its relevance in study. The jargonisms with the help of a special “simplification”, namely with the help of new language units provides generalized information about events, phenomena, people, addressees of information. This work is devoted to the consideration, classification, study of jargonisms in modern Ukrainian and English languages. We emphasize that the demand for the formation of jargonisms is growing, and this, no doubt, precedes the change in the vocabulary of the language in which we see the importance of our study. In the article the results of research on the history of origin and research of jargonisms have been analysed. The description of the types and varieties of jargonisms in English and Ukrainian have been provided. The peculiarities of the translation of English jargonisms have been investigated.
