Studying and Documenting Neologisms: Survey on Methods, Practices, Tools, and Resources (ENEOLI COST Action CA22126)

Dear participant, thank you for considering participating in this survey!

 

Please read the following information carefully before participating.

 

This survey is conducted within the European Network on Lexical Innovation (ENEOLI) Cost Action CA22126, Working Group 2: Methods, Digital Resources, and Tools for Neology. It aims to gather information about the methods, practices, tools, and resources used in neology, the study of lexical innovations. Lexical innovations include both neologisms, i.e.  new words or expressions, as well as new senses of existing words.

 

The survey targets research groups and individual researchers or language specialists involved in this field. It is organised around specific projects or research topics. Projects may be linked to resource creation in lexicography and terminology, software development for neology tracking, or academic research in lexicology, linguistics, or translation studies. Additionally, a dedicated section focuses on teaching and training practices related to neology.

 

For research groups, participants are asked to designate a representative to complete the survey. This representative can be either a research group leader or an expert in neology. 

 

The survey's results will be disseminated in open-access scientific publications. You will have the opportunity at the end of the survey to indicate whether you want to be acknowledged as a contributor to the survey.
