摘要

英语的演变，它在语言接触情况中的变化，以及英语作为国际交流手段的功能，都需要对相关现象进行更系统的分析。本文对全球化、国际化进程中出现的英语新词进行了分析。在权威理论方法和多本电子词典的基础上，对采用连续抽样方法抽取的200多个词汇进行了语义、词法和拼写分析。然后将它们分为几个主题组:1)命名现代英语自然版本和人工版本的新词;2)按社会口音和方言分类的词;3)反映英语语言领域及其与土著语言相互作用的新词。形态学分析揭示了不同构词过程的应用，包括新词和根据传统英语模式创造的形式。有时，为了强化意思和内涵，还会使用文字游戏和同音缩略词。复合和混合被发现是语料库中最有效的构词方式，而用于标记某种潜在意义的文体新词被证明是第二常见的过程。研究表明，作为国际交流工具的英语中当前活跃的构词法过程的研究强调了这些研究项目的跨学科方面。

New English Words for Describing the International English as a Current World Language Reality

The evolution of the English language, its changing in the situation of language contacts and functioning of English as an international means of communication have created a need for a more systematic analysis of related phenomena. In this paper, new English words which apparently appeared due to globalization and internationalization, have been considered. On the basis of authoritative theoretical approaches and several e-dictionaries, the words selected by means of continuous sampling method (more than 200 units) were analysed in terms of their semantics, morphology and spelling. Then they were classified into several thematic groups: 1) new words for naming natural and artificial versions of current English; 2) words classified with regard to social accents and dialects; 3) neologisms that reflect the English language domain and its interaction with indigenous languages. The morphological analysis revealed the application of different processes of word-formation, including neologisms and forms created according to traditional English patterns. Sometimes play on words and homo-acronyms were used in order to reinforce the meaning and connotation. Compounding and blending were found to be the most productive means of words formation within the corpus, and stylistic neologisms, used to mark a certain underlying sense proved to be the second most frequent process. It is demonstrated that studying of the currently active processes of word formation in the English language used as an international communication tool emphasizes the interdisciplinary aspect of such research programs.

期刊介绍： Research in Language (RiL) is an international journal committed to publishing excellent studies in the area of linguistics and related disciplines focused on human communication. Language studies, as other scholarly disciplines, undergo two seemingly counteracting processes: the process of diversification of the field into narrow specialized domains and the process of convergence, strengthened by interdisciplinarity. It is the latter perspective that RiL editors invite for the journal, whose aim is to present language in its entirety, meshing traditional modular compartments, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and offer a multidimensional perspective which exposes varied but relevant aspects of language, e.g. the cognitive, the psychological, the institutional aspect, as well as the social shaping of linguistic convention and creativity.
