Abstract:
The article is devoted to the lexical and structural analysis of neologisms in physical
and rehabilitation medicine terminology in French. It is necessary to stress that communicative technologies (smartphones, phablets, tablets, and smart watches),
social networks, on line voice and video calls app, virtual reality, different simulators
for rehabilitation and functional recovery of handicapped people have direct impact
upon new terms formation. It has been determined that the component “tele-” is
widely used to form neologisms in French. The English suffix -ing is often used to
form terms denoting a process. English borrowings are also widely used to denote
modern technologies in this sphere.
