The master's thesis is dedicated to the study of the features of English and German neologisms in the field of IT, namely their thematic classification and methods of word formation.
The material of the research consists of English and German IT neologisms, selected by the method of continuous sampling from English and German monolingual and bilingual dictionaries. The sample size is 233 lexical items.
During the study, 5 thematic groups of IT terms in German and English were identified. Thus, most of the terms in the sample belong to the thematic group "Internet and Internet communication". The results of morphological analysis of the studied units showed that most IT neologisms are formed by means of compounding. There is also the activity of the prefix word-formation model, in particular, the prefix cyber- is relevant.
