Name it till you mean it: Intersections between formal and semantic neological procedures in naming emerging pandemic objects in Spanish
The goal of this study is to investigate the relationship between formal and semantic neological procedures in the coinage of COVID-19-related emerging realities. Our study is based on a survey conducted to elicit the spontaneous creation of neologisms in Spanish related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were asked to name a set of pandemic-related objects presented to them in a set of pictures. Naming strategies resulted mostly from the intersection of metonyms with compounding and metaphors with syntagmation. Participants preferred metonymy-based strategies to name objects they have fewer clues to identify. On the other hand, objects resulting from the adaptation of pre-existing items were mostly named using metaphors.
期刊介绍:
This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
