| summary | The Chinese language has been developing in a faster pace than ever before, which can be attributed to a great extent to Chinese people’s easy access to and their heavy reliance on the Internet. One of the most obvious aspects of language growth lies in the emergence of neologisms which have been seen in wider use. In the past, most Chinese people, scholars and laymen alike, would sniff at lexical creations. However, since the 1980s, with China’s economic development, the interest in studying and creating new words has been on a steady rise. In 1984, Lv Shuxiang, a famous linguist, wrote a paper encouraging people to take new words and new meanings seriously, thus sparking a nationwide trend in the research of neologisms, which resulted in the publication of many new-word dictionaries and books solely devoted to their study. The paper attempts to offer an in-depth discussion of the new lexical members in the Chinese language, with much focus put on the classification and the word-formation processes involved in their creation. |
