Language is a means of formation and accumulation of ideas as reflections of a reality and an exchange of them during the whole life. Language has a quality of sociality by its nature; it is inseparably connected with people who are its founders and users, it grows and develops together with development of a society.
The lexical structure of the language constantly changes. The English lexicon constantly replenishes with a stock of new words from which everyone chooses what is necessary for him in a concrete situation. Some words go out of use, die off; other words appear and fill up dictionary structure of the language. Distinctive feature of any language is its ability sensitively to react to the slightest changes in a public, cultural and daily life. Updating of the lexicon occurs in va Показать все rious ways: by means of creation of new words from already existing, expansion of semantic structure of already existing words and formation of homonyms, loan of new words from other languages or from a dialect of the same language.
New words in language are created on the certain models – on the types developed in language: with the help of productive word-formation morphemes, affixes, with the help of a composition when two or more bases are united in a single one, by means of conversion. Each of these ways has the typology which depends on the general typological characteristic of language.
