Blending as a manifestation of the flexibility and mobility of the English language

Abstract

The article also emphasizes the need to study how newly formed words through blending are perceived by speakers and how they become embedded in the general vocabulary of the language. This question is important for understanding how new words make their way into dictionaries and how they are used in different social and cultural contexts. Linguistic economy and the desire for brevity are the main drivers of this process, which also increases interest in studying such new formations in a diachronic aspect. Thus, the article not only underscores the significance of blending in modern English but also offers a deeper analysis of its role in the linguistic system. It opens up broad possibilities for further research and examination of this process in the context of global linguistic changes. Recommendations for further research include the study of the mechanisms of new word creation, the analysis of their predictability, and the role of blending in the formation of terminology in various fields of knowledge.
