Subject field(s)
  • Neology and Linguistic Borrowing
  • Lexicology, Lexicography, Terminology
CONT

Observed variations of what people see as neologisms are not completely random; they are due partly to the people themselves, partly to lexical matrices. One can try to build a scale of neologicity.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Néologie et emprunts
  • Lexicologie, lexicographie et terminologie
CONT

Les variations observées du sentiment néologique ne sont pas complètement aléatoires: elles sont imputables en partie aux personnes , en partie aux matrices lexicales. On peut essayer de construire une échelle de néologicité.
