In the lexical layer of the language, speech innovations are more pronounced than in other layers. In particular, the speech of teenagers differs from the speech of representatives of other social strata precisely in vocabulary. 82 teenagers studying in the cities of Karshi and Tashkent participated in the study, and the material was collected by observing their speech, conducting a survey, questions and answers. According to the results of the analysis of the collected material, it was found that in the speech of adolescents there are more cases of learning words from Russian and English than new fakes, as well as the use of these units mainly to make the conversation more interesting and speed up communication.
