Abstract
This article examines the main methods of adjective formation in modern Russian against the backdrop of the dynamic renewal of the lexical system. The relevance of this work stems from the influence of digital communications, intensive linguistic interaction and the blurring of boundaries between the literary norm and usage. Based on an analysis of contemporary linguistic data, it has been established that suffixation plays a leading role, ensuring high morphological transparency and the rapid acquisition of new lexical items. Particular attention is paid to the adaptation of borrowed (predominantly Anglicisms) bases, the mechanisms underlying the emergence of parallel word-formation variants, and the process of integrating neologisms into speech practice. It has been revealed that Russian word formation functions as an open, self-regulating system that responds promptly to naming demands without losing grammatical integrity.
