                  The higher society has neologism in their speech, such as:
            dial-a-meal, dial-a-taxi.
                  In the language of teen-agers there are such words as:
            Drugs! /OK/, sweat /бег на длинные дистанции/, task /home
            composition/, brunch, etc.
                  With the development of the professional jargons a lot of
            words ending in “speak” appeared in English, e.g. artspeak,
            sportspeak, medspeak, education-speak, video-speak, cable-speak
            etc.
                  There are different semantic groups of neologisms
            belonging to everyday life:
                  1) food e.g. starter /instead of “hors d’oevres”/, microbiotics
            /raw vegetables, crude rice/, longlife milk, clingfilm, microwave
            stove, consumer electronics, fridge-freezer, hamburgers /beef-,
            cheese-, fish-, veg-/.
                  2) clothing e.g. catsuit /one piece clingning suit/, slimster,
            string /miniscule bikini/, hipsters /trousers or skirt with the belt
            on hips/,completenik /a long sweater for trousers/, swetnik /a long
            jacket/, pants-skirt bloomers /lady’s sports trousers/.
                  3) footwear e.g. winklepickers /shoes with long pointed
            toes/, thongs /open sandals/, backsters /beech sandals with thick
            soles/.
                  4) bags e.g. bumbag / a small bag worn on waist/, sling bag
            /a bag with a long belt/, maitre /a small bag for cosmetics/.
                  There are also such words as: dangledolly /a dolly-talisman
            dangling in the car before the wind screen/, boot-sale /selling
            from the boot of the car/, touch-tone /a telephone with press
            button/.
                  Neologisms can be also classified according to the ways
            they are formed. They are subdivided into: phonological
            neologisms, borrowings, semantic neologisms and syntactical
            neologisms. Syntactical neologisms are divided into
            morphological /word-building/ and phraseological /forming word-
            groups/.
