Abstract
In this study we examined uses of the number 3017 as a neologism by members of an online forum. 3017 has a number
of factors working against its success as a neologism, but its use grew dramatically over the course of six years. Statistical
analyses showed that the growth data were very well modeled by both a quadratic and a sigmoid curve. The form was used primarily
as an adjective and to a lesser extent as a noun over the first 500 days, before verbal forms came to dominate. To understand the
structure of the 3017 concept in the mental lexicons of users, we examine attempts to define the term, and disagreements and
negotiations about what the term does and does not include. Finally, we include examples of users’ creativity and productivity
with the form, including readily-understood jokes.
期刊介绍：
The Mental Lexicon is an interdisciplinary journal that provides an international forum for research that bears on the issues of the representation and processing of words in the mind and brain. We encourage both the submission of original research and reviews of significant new developments in the understanding of the mental lexicon. The journal publishes work that includes, but is not limited to the following: Models of the representation of words in the mind Computational models of lexical access and production Experimental investigations of lexical processing Neurolinguistic studies of lexical impairment. Functional neuroimaging and lexical representation in the brain Lexical development across the lifespan Lexical processing in second language acquisition The bilingual mental lexicon Lexical and morphological structure across languages Formal models of lexical structure Corpus research on the lexicon New experimental paradigms and statistical techniques for mental lexicon research.
