            also mention computerized cards with the help of which we can
            open the door without a key.
                   In the sphere of medicine computers are also used and we
            have the following neologism: telemonitory unit /a telemonitory
            system for treating patience at a distance/.
                   With the development of social activities neologisms
            appeared as well, e.g. youthquake – волнения среди молодёжи,
            pussy-footer – политик, идущий на компромиссы, Euromarket,
            Eurodollar, Europarliament, Europol etc.
                   In the modern English society there is a tendency to social
            stratification, as a result there are neologisms in this sphere as
            well, e.g.: belonger – представитель среднего класса,
            приверженец консервативных взглядов. To this group we can
            also refer abbreviations of the type yuppi /young urban
            professional people/, such as muppi, gruppi, rumpie, bluppie etc.
            People belonging to the lowest layer of the society are called
            survivers, a little bit more prosperous are called sustainers, and
            those who try to prosper in life and imitate those, they want to
            belong to, are called emulaters. Those who have prospered but are
            not belongers are called achievers. All these layers of society are
            called VAL / Value and Lifestyle/. The rich belong to jet set that
            is those who can afford to travel by jet planes all over the world
            enjoying their life. Sometimes they are called jet plane travellers.
                   During Margaret Thatcher’s rule the abbreviation PLU
            appeared which means ”People like us” by which snobbistic
            circles of society call themselves. Nowadays /since 1989/ PLU
            was substituted by “one of us”.
                   There are a lot of immigrants now in UK, in connection with
            which neologisms partial and non-partial were formed
            /имеющие право жить в стране и его антоним/.
                   The word-group “welfare mother” was formed to denote a
            non-working single mother living on benefit.
                   In connection with criminalization of towns in UK voluntary
            groups of assisting the police were formed where dwellers of the
            neighbourhood are joined. These groups are called neigbourhood
