The Vocabulary Connected with a Social Network

Publication at Faculty of Education |
2017

Abstract

In this study we concentrate on the change and development of lexical items connected with the social network Facebook. The lexical items discussed are based on English lexemes which are adapted or calqued into Czech according to particular models and then undergo the standard word-formation processes of the Czech language.

The analyzed lexical items are difficult to classify clearly on the Terminology-slangs spectrum because they are multidiscoursive.
