 | | The aim of the project is to study lexical innovation in the Italian language, with particular reference to neologisms taken from newspapers, to try to define current trends in their creation. |
 | | The material collected has been placed in a databank, classified by theme (economics, politics, culture, science, technology, sport, etc.) and analysed on the basis of morphological, syntactic and semantic characteristics, with the aim of outlining the most common typologies of present-day neologisms. |
 | | Any form already registered in the two most important and substantial Italian dictionaries published in the last two decades (A. Duro, Vocabolario della lingua italiana, Rome, Istituto della Enciclopedia Italiana, 1997, Second edition, 5 vols, and T. De Mauro, Grande dizionario italiano dell'uso, Turin, Utet, 2000, 6 vols) has been excluded. |
