PHRASEOLOGICAL NEOLOGISMS IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE: SEMANTICS, ETYMOLOGY, FUNCTIONING
The article is devoted to the analysis of phraseological neologisms that appeared in the Russian language at the beginning of the XXI century. Phraseological neologisms are considered from the point of view of their semantics, etymology and functionning in speech. The paper concludes that the linguistic mechanism for the formation of phraseological neologisms that appeared in the Russian language at the beginning of the XXI century is not new: only metaphorical images of phraseological units that represent various changes taking place in modern society are new.
