La neología en textos orales
Abstract
The main goal of this article is to analyse neologisms extracted from texts in oral media and contrast them with neologisms documented in written texts in daily and non-daily newspapers. The fi rst part of the article is an introduction to the work methodology used at the Observatori de Neologia in Barcelona: the criterion for defi ning neologisms and the tools selected for information retrieval and storage. The second part is a study of neologisms collected over a ten-year period (1999-2008) from oral texts, mainly radio. These neologisms are then contrasted with others extracted from various corpora of written media texts. The article examines the specifi c nature of neology in oral language in connection with its preferred resources and shows the behavioural trends in formal, borrowed, and semantic neologisms, in contrast with neology in written language. These differences support the hypothesis that spontaneity and oral communication benefit lexical creativity, which is not always present in written texts.Downloads
