  • Neologisms in public discourse : diplomsko delo
    Medvešek, Tanja, 1977-
    This diploma thesis focuses on the new words called neologisms used in public discourse. The main source for this research was the Internet. Neologisms are mainly presented from a word-formational ... standpoint. Some terminology is also explained for better understanding of word-formational processes. We explained the reasons why new words are coined and what neologisms by the definition really are. The neologisms we have found were analyzed and categorized into word-formation categories; we wanted to find out which is the most productive word-formational process in creating neologisms in English language. We also analyzed their meaning and frequency of use. We used the linguistic corpus Coubild Bank of English to analyze the frequency of the words.
