Thearticle dwells on the lexico-semantic features of certain Tajik-language newspapers and weeklies of the period of independence of Tajikistan Republic (USSR, Khatlon-PRESS, Paik, Faraj, Literature and Art; until 2022). For the study, the author chose non-state and state publications made in different periods of state independence and the Tajik language development, and differentiating in their attitude to the language and its vocabulary, both in form and content. The author believes that one of the features of press of this period can be seen in usage of neologisms, since these newspapers and weeklies, like a newly created press, look at Tajik language from a new perspective and try to show the richness of this language, but in this case there is no definite, ordered, consistent and uniform system. Tajik press multilingualism and the rapid growth of new words are noted as well.
