Împrumutul lexical neologic ca sursă pentru realizarea sinonimiei şi omonimiei
Neological Lexical Borrowing – an Important Source of Synonymy and Homonymy

Summary/Abstract: Neology is a major sign of linguistic vitality; it a means of enriching the vocabulary of a language with new lexical items that greatly depend on innovation, lexical creativity and the principles and laws of derivational morphology. The large number of recently coined lexical items and the numerous neologisms that have already entered common use are the consequence of both social changes and man’s constant effort to conceptualize, decode and use them in human communication. In the present paper the term neologisms refers only to the lexical items coined in one language as the result of neology; we shall distinguish them from loanwords, which are words taken from other languages at different historical moments and undergoing various adaptations.
