LINGUOCULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF OCCASIONAL LEXICAL FORMATIONS

Аннотация

This thesis explores the linguocultural dimensions of occasional lexical formations (nonce words) as individual authorial innovations. Occasionalisms represent a unique intersection of personal linguistic creativity and culturally embedded mental models. Through an anthropocentric approach, the paper examines how authorial neologisms serve as carriers of cultural semantics and markers of the author's linguistic personality. The study highlights that occasional lexical units are not arbitrary linguistic experiments; rather, they are motivated by the national model of the world and are enriched with multi-layered connotative meanings that reflect both individual and collective worldviews.
