            new object or phenomenon. In this case we have “a proper
            neologism”, many of them are cases of new terminology.
                   Here we can point out several semantic groups when we
            analyze the group of neologisms connected with computerization,
            and here we can mention words used:
                   1) to denote different types of computers: PC, super-
            computer, multi-user, neurocomputer /analogue of a human
            brain/;
                   2) to denote parts of computers: hardware, software,
            monitor, screen, data, vapourware / experimental samples of
            computers for exhibition, not for production/;
                   3) to denote computer languages: BASIC, Algol
            FORTRAN etc;
                   4) to denote notions connected with work on computer:
            computerman, computerization, computerize, to troubleshoot, to
            blitz out /to ruin data in computer’s memory/.

                 There are also different types of activities performed with
            the help of computers, many of them are formed with the help of
            morpheme “tele”: telework, to telecommute /to work at home
            having a computer which is connected with the enterprise for
            which one works/. There are also such words as telebanking,
            telemarketing, teleshopping /when you can perform different
            operations with the help of your computer without leaving your
            home, all operations are registered by the computer at your bank/,
            videobank /computerized telephone which registers all
            information which is received in your absence/.
                 In the sphere of linguistics we have such neologisms as:
            machine translation, interlingual /an artificial language for
            machine translation into several languages/ and some others.
                 In the sphere of biometrics we have computerized machines
            which can recognize characteristic features of people seeking
            entrance: finger-print scanner /finger prints/, biometric eye-
            scanner / blood-vessel arrangements in eyes/, voice verification
            /voice patterns/. These are types of biometric locks. Here we can
