| Abstract [eng] |
This paper examines the Database of Lithuanian Neologisms to evaluate its effectiveness as a resource for identifying and analysing neonyms. Neonyms, or terminological neologisms, are distinguished from general neologisms by their systematic and deliberate creation for specific terminological needs. The research reveals that a significant portion of neonyms is derived from indigenous Lithuanian elements. The analysis also identifies prevalent word-formation patterns, while noting the emergence of hybrid neonyms and blends. Despite certain limitations in the Database's search functionalities, it remains a valuable tool for researchers and practitioners in the field of Lithuanian neonomy and terminology overall. |
