The problems of lexicography of new words that appeared in the Russian language in the 21 st century are considered based on the materials of the upcoming thematic Explanatory Dictionary of Unity and Enmity in the Russian Language of 2000–2020. The author of the article is one of the dictionary compilers. It is stated that the difficulties of describing new borrowed lexical units, that are at the stage of usage, are associated with the
establishment of their lexical, grammatical and stylistic characteristics. Criteria for their determination are proposed. The principles of choosing the variant of heading word spelling in a dictionary entry are argued. Based on the methods of definitional, linguoculturological and content analysis using textual material extracted from mass media resources, a methodology for compiling a dictionary entry has been developed, which makes it possible to give a detailed description of the lexical, grammatical, stylistic, paradigmatic and pragmatic characteristics of current borrowings. As a result of this technique application, a dictionary entry of Brexit neologism is presented, reflecting the unstable position of this lexeme in the Russian language system, the status of which fluctuates between a proper name and an appellative. The material and methodology for its systematization can be considered when compiling explanatory dictionaries of new words in the Russian language.

The issue of modern communication on the Internet in the aspect of the idea of the transformation of youth values, in particular the idea of individualism as a characteristic feature of youth in the XXI century is considered in the article. The work was carried out with financial support from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the EISR within the framework of scientific project No. 21-011-31221. The aim of the study is to consider the lexical representation of the ideas of individualism and collectivism in Internet communication as two conceptual views on life. The methods of component, contextual, interpretive types of analysis are used to study neologisms that have appeared in the Russian language in the last 20 years as nominations new for Russian reality associated with manifestations of individualism and collectivism in Internet interaction. It is emphasized that social networks have become a special space for youth communication, which created new conditions for the emergence and development of previously unknown forms of communication, such as influencers, cyberbullying, shaming, guerrilla marketing, etc. The meanings of new words and their speech use are analyzed. The results show that the ideas about the individualism of modern youth are not as unambiguous as it might seem at first glance. It is proved that a number of new words, such as influencer, ambassadorship, evangelism, etc., which name phenomena that seem to be associated with individualistic manifestations of personality, actualize the semantics of a person's dependence on public opinion, likes and dislikes, approval of followers, etc., and not opposing oneself to the collective, as presented in the definition of the word individualism. It is noted that at the same time, a person's desire to unite with other people in social networks has not disappeared anywhere, it manifests itself in the formation of communities, groups, in communication on forums, however, it has acquired the form of unstable ties, since there are few serious grounds for unification. The data of linguistic analysis partially verify the results of studies of individualism obtained by sociologists, educators, psychologists and other representatives of other sciences.
