TVORBA IN POGOSTOST NEDAVNIH NEOLOGIZMOV V ANGLEŠČINI

This diploma thesis deals with new words called neologisms. English is a language that very quickly adopts new words. Language is not static, but it is constantly changing. People are using neologisms more than ever and can be very creative in creating new words. Neologisms are used in science, literature, politics, advertising, linguistics and are created because of a different innovations in society. In this diploma thesis, neologisms will be presented that were researched and analyzed. The selected neologisms were from Oxford Dictionary Online and were added in the months of August and May. 37 neologisms were investigated from the month of August and 38 neologisms from the month of May, altogether 75 new words. Their purpose was explained and the context in which they occur was shown. Neologisms were categorized into word-formational categories. We wanted to find out which word-formational process is the most productive when creating neologisms. Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) helped us determine the frequency of selected neologisms.Diplomsko delo se ukvarja z novimi besedami, imenovani neologizmi. Angleščina je jezik, ki zelo hitro sprejema nove besede. Jezik ni statičen, ampak se nenehno spreminja. Ljudje uporabljajo neologizme bolj kot kdaj koli prej in so lahko zelo ustvarjalni pri ustvarjanju novih besed. Neologizmi se uporabljajo v znanosti, literaturi, politiki, oglaševanju, jezikoslovju in nastajajo zaradi različnih inovacij v družbi. V diplomskem delu bodo predstavljeni neologizmi, katere smo raziskovali in analizirali. Izbrani neologizmi so iz Oxfordovega spletnega slovarja in so bili dodani v mesecu avgustu in maju. 37 neologizmov je raziskovanih iz meseca avgusta in 38 neologizmov iz meseca maja, vse skupaj 75 novih besed. Njihov namen je pojasnjen, prav tako pa tudi kontekst, v katerem se pojavljajo. Neologizme smo razvrstili glede na besedotvorni postopek. Želeli smo ugotoviti, kateri besedotvorni proces je najbolj produktiven pri ustvarjanju neologizmov. Korpus sodobne ameriške angleščine (COCA) nam je pomagal ugotoviti pogostost izbranih neologizmov
