The circulation of neological loanwords in the field of fashion in Czech and French, a diachronic perspective
Abstrakt
The main goal of this paper is to compare a sample of neological loanwords from the fashion sector in French and Czech. The idea of the comparative conception mentioned in the title of the article is based on the international project entitled "EmpNéo" (Neological Loanwords), which aims to compare the diffusion of neological loanwords in various languages.
In this study, we would like to present only a part of this project and analyze the new terms related to the fashion industry that appeared in the two respective languages. The corpus is based on our own knowledge and personal experiences.
All lexemes were selected from the press, so it represents the written form of language. This methodological restriction - i.e. work only on a written corpus of on-line journals - corresponds to the aim of the mentioned project.
The main objective is to describe the presence of selected lexemes in both languages and to compare their existence in the different types of documents, their diffusion as well as their nature and their place in the two languages.
