This paper is a generalization of the results of linguocognitive analysis of English neologisms that have been formed with the help of a metacognitive model of affixal derivation. The article analyzes the theoretical foundations of the linguocognitive approach to the study of linguo-mental innovations, discusses such ways of affixal derivation as prefixation, suffixation, affixal composition. In order to represent the illustrative material of functioning of innovations of this type, text fragments from modern English-language periodicals of recent years has been selected presented in the work. The study also demonstrates the direct correlation between the growth of the stosk of morphological metaconcepts and the complication of changes in the social environment. In the article were established that in the processes of conceptual derivation, the mechanism of analogy plays a significant role, as a constant factor in the development of the linguistic-mental environment and one of the cognitive universals. The significance of the article, is that it’s a contribution to cognitive linguistics, so as the covered material can be used in teaching students Lexicology, and English as the first foreign language.
