Summary/Abstract: The paper gives an overview of derivatives with the international component techno- and offers their structural and semantic analysis. In Lithuanian usage the number of the above-type of words due to the impact of English and English-speaking countries is on the increase. Some of those words refer to concepts of sub-cultures; others should be treated solely as stylistically marked language innovations. A similar situation might be observed in German and Russian. The spelling of words with the component techno- varies. The most deviant is the usage of techno as an individual lexeme. It is important to observe and register the actual use of the new lexemes and give evaluation to it; however, it is also important to observe the existing spelling rules.
