“The nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are and make new things like them” (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, 121 - 180). INTRODUCTION
A living language leads a dynamic existence, it is constantly developing its internal and external resources, adapting to ever changing circumstances of social, cultural, political and scientific life, generating new forms and content and abandoning old ones, improving its expressive means and devices through their structural complication or simplification. Language is one of those spheres of human activity that are the first to bring reaction to social and other kinds of changes in human life and activities. Language may even not only follow or accompany these changes but also cause them - “But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought” [46], and it is not an insoluble problem to find illustrative examples for that in the past and present.
Every social or political change, revolution, innovation is preceded by introduction of new words and terms, many of which are only euphemisms: “enemy of the people” (French and Russian revolution), “bourgeois nationalism”
