Conclusion
A conversion in linguistics is called as the method of word formation, in which from one part of speech emerges another without any changes in the external form of the word. The process of formation of new words is more typical for the English language due to its analytical system.
It is also important to note that the conversion phenomenon came to the attention of scientists in relatively early times, but the issue is still not explored to the fullest. Great contribution to the study of the phenomenon of the conversion was made by such scholars-linguists as G. Sweet, I.A. Smirnitsky, O.S. Akhmanova, P.M. Vogel et al.
The debate of linguists on the topic of conversion belonging to a process of word formation does not cease to this day. But despite the differences in views on the essence of the phenomenon of conversion, researchers still agree in one issue - models, types and features of functioning of the conversion, the essence of which is presented in this paper.
In general, in the course of my investigation, I: 1) defined conversion as one of the most productive ways of forming new words in modern English; 2) discussed the history of conversions; 3) revealed different conversion types: substantivization, verbalization, adjectivization, adverbalization; 4) revealed conversion types: trans-positive and derivational (lexical), full and partial; 5) covered the basic models of conversion; 6) provided examples of neologisms formed by conversion.
Summarizing, we can conclude that the set at the beginning aims and tasks of the study have been reached in the course of my work. In the process of writing this work various sources of theoretical and practical material were used, which gave us detailed information about the subject and the object of this work. Therefore, we carried out a comprehensive analysis of the subject and the object and drew appropriate conclusions.
