Abstract
The relevance of the study lies in the fact that the word-formation potential of language units has more than once become a subject of linguistic research. At the same time, the matter of the word-formation potential of anglicisms in the political vocabulary of the modern Russian language remains insufficiently studied. The aim of this article is to describe the word-formation potential of anglicisms in the political vocabulary of the modern Russian language. The descriptive method and word-formation analysis are mainly used in the study. The research materials are 302 root anglicisms and their derivatives, which were selected by continuous sampling method from a number of dictionaries of foreign words, such as “Dictionary of anglicisms of the Russian language (edited by A.I. Dyakov)”, “Dictionary of the latest foreign words (late 20th – early 21st century)”, etc. As a result of the study, the main linguistic and extra-linguistic factors that have a great influence on the word-formation potential of political anglicisms were identified. In addition, the main types of “political” anglicisms, which have a high or low word-formation potential, are distinguished. The results of this study may be useful in studying the problem of the word-formation potential of anglicisms in political sphere.
