Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the tendencies of neologism integration into the written text. The usage research reveals that there exist certain non-written rules on neologism integration into the text. It is possible to distinguish two major ways of the devoid of traditional usage lexeme introduction into the text: either neologisms are italicised or put in quotation marks, or (and) accompanied with certain comments. The preferred way depends on the nature of the text and the type of the neologism.
