| Summary: |
This is a sumary of responses I received for my query posting on the LINGUIST List Vol-8-43 a few days ago, which said: >Sorry for extremely fuzzy clues, but I am now looking for this >particular paper that (1) dealt with neologism in English, (2) taking >data from the Times (a British newspaper) and (3) was published within >last ten years. Someone mentioned the paper to me last summer, but he >was not able to give me the exact reference and my desperate search >began. Given the fact that he is a rather techie humanist, it is also >likely that the Times data comes from some kind of an electronic >corpus. If these three fuzzy sets ever ring a bell, please write to me >directly at kenjiro@ipc.hiroshima-u.ac.jp. The mystery paper(s) turned out to be: Baayen, R. Harald & Renouf, Antoinette (1996) Chronicling the Times: Productive Lexical Innovations in an English Newspaper, LANGUAGE, vol 72, no.1 Renouf, Antoinette (1993), "A word in time: First findings from the investigation of dynamic text," pp. 279-288 in English Language Corpora: Design, Analysis and Exploitation, ed. Jan Aarts, Pieter de Haan and Nelleke Oostdijk, Amsterdam: Rodopi (Language & Computers #10). My thanks are to Eleanor Olds Batchelder, Claire Cowie and Ming-Wei Lee, who kindly sent me the references. Kenjiro Matsuda Hiroshima University |
