“Digital crime” in financial and economic discourse (based on English neologisms)

The aim of the study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the semantic and axiological features of the selected set of neologisms of the financial and economic discourse (based on English neographic electronic sources from 2017 to 2025). The article highlights the main components of the neological units of the analyzed discourse (spheres of influence, objects, tools, features of digital crimes), and also indicates the role of the negative connotation of neologisms denoting cybercrimes. The scientific novelty of the work lies in a comprehensive study of digital crimes expressed by English neologisms related to the financial and economic discourse: a classification of a certain layer of new English vocabulary of the financial and economic discourse is carried out; using a linguistic analysis of neologisms of the financial and economic discourse, some axiological orientations of native speakers are determined. With the development of modern technologies, conditions have been formed for the emergence of a new type of crime – crimes committed in the digital space (digital crimes). As a result of the study, the influence of the analyzed neologisms on the worldview of the English-speaking society was revealed through the explication of certain given values in the discourse serving this institution, and the ways of including certain phenomena in the axiological field of the language by means of their nomination and categorization were considered.
