A criação de neologismos de base japonesa por falantes de português

Abstract

The linguistic renovation is an essential phenomenon to the evolution and maintenance of any language, whether natural or artificial. This process of renovation and linguistic creation is called neology. Your product, the neologism. Adopting the neologism as an object of research, we pick it up in contexts involving both Japanese and Portuguese languages. The research field used was the internet, due to its dynamic nature and scope. Thus, we selected a total of ninety neologisms of linguistic base from the Japanese language, which were analyzed through theoretical basis in studies on Neology and Lexicology of the Portuguese language, namely Biderman (1978, 2001); Alves (1990); Basílio (1991); Barbosa (1998, 2000); Pilla (2002); Kehdi (2007); Carvalho (2009, 2012); Correia e Almeida (2012); Gonçalves (2012); and others. The analysis of neologisms had as the parameters: (a) type of neologism, (b) type of linguistic basis, (c) type of process in the formation of lexical unit, (d) linguistic function of neologism (e) contextualization, (f) inflectional forms and variants. This procedure of analysis allowed us to observe that the most frequent type of neologism in the corpus is syntactic one, and the lexical process more productive, is the suffixal derivation. Besides indicating that the creation of neologisms by speakers occurs in a systematic way, in informal contexts of communication, and with a definite purpose, to transmission of ideas and concepts.
