The article represents a study of neologisms in the English and Russian languages that appeared during the 2019-2020 coronavirus pandemic. The material of the research was the texts of English and Russian media and social networks. The lexical material was classified according to the main methods of word formation. According to the results of the study, the following conclusions were made: the most characteristic way of forming neologisms for the English language is blending, which refers to formal neology; also, there are examples of vocabulary formed through semantic and syntactic neology in the English discourse. In the Russian language, borrowings, blending and word composition were singled out as the main methods of neology. In addition, suffix methods and semantic neology are used as ways of forming neologisms for the Russian language.
