Abstract

This paper introduces a new methodology designed to build an adequate corpus for the study of neological phenomena (neological creation patterns, primary or secondary term formation, concept categories they refer to, neological dissemination, existence of potential variation…). This allowed us to analyse the probabilities for neological integration in the medical language in the light of the neological survival factors we previously identified and studied.
