Abstract
The English language is responding to global changes of the 21st centuary. Innovations, new IT technologies, economic transformations, environmental problems, discrimination in the society, international terrorism and other new realities caused the appearance of new linguistic process on the lexical semantic level.
Newly coined terms, words and phrases became frequently used in the English proficient texts. For ESP students it has become a problem to interpret and use such terms as neologisms.
