Abstract. The process of formation of new units occurs in accordance with the morphological processes existing in the language. Among the morphological devices operating in the French language, one can indicate derivation and abbreviation. Linguistic studies are included in this article because derivation is one of the main sources for the creation of words and the updating of technical languages, as well as the francization of terms from other languages. For our study, we turned to the studies of various linguists, such as Sablirol, Espersen, Vinogradov, Maslova, and others. Following our deepening, we made a linguistic and cultural analysis of these neologisms, such as diachronic, semantic analysis, etc. In the course of our analysis, we saw that the derivation consists of two types of formation, such as a suffix and a prefix. In the content of the article, we tried to show the suffixes and prefixes most commonly used in French.

Keywords: derivation, abbreviation, suffix and prefix, polysemy, diachronic analysis, semantic neologisms, semantic restriction, semantic expansion, cultural connotations.
