In the sphere of language use, various changes in the form and content of words occur. New meanings of words appear and other meanings disappear. In mass communication, semantic changes occur that precede the stage of formation of new individual meanings. These initial minimal semantic changes do not go beyond the existing meanings and remain within their framework. In terms of lexicography, these are shades of meaning, or sub-meanings. With such changes, the meaning remains, in general, the same, preserving its structural-semantic identity, and continues to exist as a meaningful integrity. The words of some thematic groups and their existence in modern communication are highlighted. Words of different parts of speech are considered. The types of initial minimal semantic changes. There is a restructuring of the meanings of words and the movement of the components of the semantic structure of the word, the promotion and strengthening of one semantic component, the addition of some non-essential semantic components to the content of the word, the weakening of some semantic component and the elimination of some components from the meaning of the word. Under certain systemic-structural conditions, the semantic nuance can develop and become a separate meaning of the word. The study of the functioning of vocabulary was conducted using observation methods, component analysis of semantics and distributional analysis.
