日本語 新造語 生成의 特徵에 관한 考察 ―웹사이트 텍스트의 用例를 中心으로―

Abstract

The result we've studied on the characteristic of Japanese neologisms creation using website text as follows. First, we could confirm that new type of neologisms appeared with the change of Japanese society and using neologisms reflect not only an amusement phenomenon but also social change. Second, there are also some cases that aspect of Japanese cultural change appears through neologisms, and in the background of this phenomenon, there seem to be psychological factors that Japanese younger generation intends to express the change of culture and environment through neologisms. Third, we could find out that the internet words and the creation of acronyms such as「KY type Japanese」also significantly increased at the time of rapid growth of using blogs and cell phones. Fourth, many ways of the creation of neologisms such as compound words, derivatives, abbreviation, verbalization are started with younger generation's desire for freedom through escape from speech code (meaning, usage, word formation, and etc.)
