The article examines the features of the semantics and structure of modern gaming jargon, namely the formation and functioning of the language: methods of word formation, active borrowing and adaptation of English-language terms, as well as the use of abbreviations and acronyms. In addition, the article analyzes the semantic features of gaming jargon, its ability to accurately denote specific gaming phenomena, express emotions, assessments, and relationships between members of the gaming community.
