Word-formation Types of Neological Nouns in Hacked Czech. (On the question of analogy and anomaly in word-formation)
Abstract
This paper is devoted to word-formation types (word-formation procedures and means) of neological and occasional nouns in the newest substandard Czech vocabulary. The material was excerpted from the dictionary Hacked Czech.
An Unorthodox Dictionary of Today's Mother Tongue (2018). In particular, the word-formation procedures are distinguished: (1) on the basis of which completely new naming-units are created and the procedures by which existing units are modified, and (2) central, "regular" and peripheral, "irregular" procedures.
The selected word-formation means (affixes) are confronted with their characteristics stated in the Dictionary of Affixes Used in Czech (2016). Semantics, stylistic and pragmatic validity and application of analysed neological nouns in current communication are also assessed.
The paper thus touches on the issue of analogy and anomaly as well as on the issue of word-formation standard.
