Abstract:

This book presents the first large-scale usage-based investigation of the
conventionalization process of English neologisms in the online speech
community. The study answers the longstanding question of how and why some
neologisms become part of the English lexicon and others do not. It strings
together findings and assumptions from lexicological, sociolinguistic and
cognitive research and supplements the existing theories with novel
data-driven insights. For this purpose a webcrawler was developed, which
extracted the occurrences of the neologisms under consideration from the
Internet in monthly intervals. The book shows that the different courses
conventionalization processes may take result from the interplay between
speaker-based sociopragmatic accommodation-induced aspects and factors
facilitating cognitive processing of novel linguistic material.
