Summary/Abstract: Language is constantly moving. This movement is called the dynamic language. While some words get older, other words take their place. With time, they become archaisms, and the vocabulary needs new words that can express changes in society, economic, social and cultural changes. Therefore, the vocabulary is constantly renewed, and the language becomes richer, more expressive, more precise. Among the methods of enriching a vocabulary an important place is occupied by neologisms. Abuse of neologisms is a deviation from the general quality of the individual style called purity. The present paper aims to talk about the abuse of neologisms, namely about luxury neologisms.
