Abstract

The phenomenon of neologisms, the creation of new words or expressions, is a fascinating aspect of language evolution. This abstract explores the dynamic nature of neologisms, highlighting their significance in reflecting societal changes, tracking linguistic innovation, and documenting cultural phenomena. By analysing examples of neologisms across different domains, from technology to popular culture, this abstract provides insights into the creative and adaptive nature of language. Additionally, it discusses the importance of studying neologisms for understanding communication patterns, adapting language resources, and capturing historical moments. Overall, this abstract underscores the relevance of neologisms in shaping the ever-changing landscape of language and communication.
