2025-10-01 · DOI: 10.33526/ejks.20252501.82The modern Korean language is changing in a number of directions and is actively replenished with new lexical units, among which a significant role is played by abbreviations - complex words formed with the help of morphological reduction, combination and contamination, including borrowed morphemes. These units are formed by means of morphological compression, abbreviation and combination, which contributes to the optimization of language nomination, the acceleration of communication and implementation of the principle of linguistic economy. This article analyzes the structural and semantic analysis of abbreviations, as well as their word-formation models. The relevance of the study is due to the dynamism of word formation processes in Korean, which reflect social and cultural changes. In the conditions of digitalization of the state and society, development of media discourse and internationalization of communication, abbreviations acquire special significance, as they are widely used in Internet communication, neologization of colloquial speech and youth slang, and actively enter into everyday speech, forming a special layer of modern Korean vocabulary. The demand for this study is determined by the need to systematize the mechanisms of abbreviation formation, analyze their morphological structure and derivational models. The results of the study presented in this article could be useful for further study of nomination mechanisms and word formation strategies in Korean, as well as for identifying general trends in the dynamics of lexical composition of languages actively influenced by globalization and technological progress.
