This article examines the communicative and pragmatic features of English technical neologisms within contemporary professional and digital discourse. The study focuses on the processes of formation, semantic expansion, and functional adaptation of newly emerged lexical units in rapidly developing fields such as information technology, engineering, and applied sciences. Particular attention is paid to the role of neologisms in ensuring precision, efficiency, and economy of communication, as well as their impact on knowledge transmission and professional interaction. Furthermore, the article explores the pragmatic functions of technical neologisms, including their role in professional identity construction, discourse specialization, and intercultural communication. The results highlight the importance of understanding neological processes for effective translation, teaching, and adaptation of technical terminology in multilingual contexts. The study contributes to the fields of applied linguistics, terminology studies, and discourse analysis by providing insights into the dynamic interaction between language innovation and communicative needs in modern technical environments.
