Neologismus Glossary of terms

A Neologismus is a new word or expression that is incorporated into a language, either by creation or adoption.

Detailed Explanation

Neologismen (plural) arise for various reasons, such as technological advances, cultural changes, or foreign influences. They can be formed through composition, derivation, linguistic borrowing, or semantic shifts of existing words. Their acceptance into the standard language varies, and some may be ephemeral while others become permanently integrated into the German vocabulary.
