Abstract
Aim. To identify and describe the origin of the most actively expanding groups of Russian automotive terminological vocabulary borrowed from the English language in oral spoken and non-professional publicistic discourse.
Methodology. The most dynamically developing groups of calqued, directly borrowed (transcribed, transliterated) and metaphorically reinterpreted by the modern Russian language consciousness automotive terminology in oral and non-professional publicistic discourse are identified and described by the author.
Results. The article concludes that the automotive terminology in the Russian oral and non-professional publicistic discourse is actively replenished due to borrowings from the English language. The paper also focuses on the increasingly noticeable transition of technical vocabulary denoting the most dynamically upgraded components, units and parts of a modern automobile from the category of special to the category of commonly used.
Research implications. The results of the work can be used for classification of the Russian automotive terms by origin and methods of word formation.
