Abstract. The paper aims to identify semantic and pragmatic features of French COVID-related neologisms. The article provides a typology of neologisms appeared in the French language during the COVID-19 pandemic. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that the authors for the first time identify linguistic peculiarities of newly appeared lexical units representing characteristic features of French word formation in the pandemic period. The research findings are as follows: the authors propose a classification of French COVID-related neologisms describing political, economic and network situation under pandemic conditions; emphasize semantic inventiveness and terminological richness associated with pragmatic intentions of language bearers.
Key words and phrases: лексикон, неологизмы, слова-чемоданы, жаргон социальных сетей, языковая игра, vocabulary, neologisms, portmanteau words, social network jargon, language game
