Novel Lexemes in English: Variations

Scientific Study from the year 2010 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, Moscow State Pedagogical University, language: English, abstract: The present book is a short collection of articles written by the author over the time span of 2009-2010. The topicality of present paper is down to several factors. First, since novel lexemes emerge in the English language on a regular, I would even go as far as to say, on a daily basis, the study, or at least, a comprehensive description of some of them could hardly ever become redundant or superfluous. Second, it constitutes a beneficial task to see how such novel lexemes are distributed over various types of discourse and stylistic strata. Third, it enables one to see which slots in different spheres of human activities are more likely to be filled and which are left gaping.
