THE LIFECYCLE OF WORDS: WHAT MAKES NEOLOGISMS THRIVE OR FADE?

Neologisms, as linguistic phenomena, reflect societal changes and technological advancements. Their lifecycle is influenced by various factors, including cultural relevance, social adoption, and usability. This paper explores the creation, adoption, and eventual fading of neologisms, examining the underlying reasons and the criteria for their longevity. Using scholarly perspectives and quantitative data, it identifies the mechanisms that ensure some neologisms thrive while others fade into obscurity.

Abstract

Neologisms, as linguistic phenomena, reflect societal changes and technological advancements. Their lifecycle is influenced by various factors, including cultural relevance, social adoption, and usability. This paper explores the creation, adoption, and eventual fading of neologisms, examining the underlying reasons and the criteria for their longevity. Using scholarly perspectives and quantitative data, it identifies the mechanisms that ensure some neologisms thrive while others fade into obscurity.
