If we compare it with our, modern, and it even our grandparents (and even parents), there will be significant changes.And should listen or read into the fellowship of children and adolescents - half of what they said we did not understand.Because they operate in these words, called such things (a vivid example - game virtual items and attributes), which we do not podozrevaem.Vse is evidence that language - a living organism, it is constantly evolving.What is this development?In constant vocabulary by words alone, in the care of the past of others.After all, what is a neologism?This word, which at this particular time is perceived as a new, recently subsumed not mastered sufficiently.As consolidation in the language it loses a shade of novelty, it is commonly used.An example would be, say, the word "plane" or "mobile" or "computer".At a certain stage of social, scientific and technological development of all these neologisms were in Russian.But now we have long been accustomed to them, they became part of the vernacular.Or take the word "pioneer", "Komsomolets" - with the advent of the phenomenon emerged, and concepts, they are called.But these institutions have disappeared - and that word is already fading, becoming historicism.
So, what is a neologism?This token, which became the language or formed in it recently and is perceived by most media as a new unit.The appearance of such words are inextricably linked to several moments.The main thing is the scientific and technological development.There is the invention, development, product - and there is a need for a new word.For example, a "search engine", "browser", "laptop" included in active use only ten or so years ago.Understand that this neologism, we will analyze social shifts and changes.If, for example, for the beginning of the 20th century, new words were "communist", "party member" - now, when the formation of new parties, organizations and social movements, are included in the language of "edinorossovtsy", "MChSniki", "medveputy."The degree of development is different.For example, the active formation of word forms indicates that the word is firmly in vocabulary and consciousness of their contemporaries.If a few years ago, we used the name of the company and the search engine only as a proper name "Google", but now you can hear and derivatives such as "google", "naguglit."Or take the exciting word "layknut", "Tweet", "friended" - this will help us understand what the neologism and in what way is the development of new in our speech.Most often, the vocabulary of the update is due to borrowing.And often for the nomination of the same phenomenon or item exist in parallel two words: development and new.For example, a "pan" and "pallet".Or "managing" and "manager".Neologisms in the modern Russian language also formed by changing the values of existing words.For example, the "voice" to "express, say out loud."Or "download" in the sense of "transfer files".
Writers and poets are actively involved in creation of new words.To understand what a neologism individual authors help us examples of Mayakovsky ("hulk", "vyzvezditsya"), Nabokov ("nymphet").In other words also called nonce words.
