Modern journalistic discourse, developing in the information society, is characterized by the active development of foreign language lexical material - words and expressions that arise as a reaction to socio-political phenomena and processes in a certain country or region. Thanks to the media. English-speaking neologisms actively penetrate into other languages, including Russian, replenishing the lexico-phraseological foundation. Lexico-phraseological innovations in the field of political journalism are ideologically loaded. At the same time, borrowed lexico-phraseological neologisms are rethought in a certain way and often acquire connotations that are opposite to the original version, which is due to differences in the interpretation of socio-political reality. The comparative analysis of the vocabulary of new lexis and phraseology in English and Russian-language media texts allows us to identify similar and specific features of neologisms in the semantic and derivational aspects.
