Тема: Environmental Neologisms as Indicators of Societal Attitudes Toward Wastе. Объём текста: 10 страниц. План 1. Problem statement • Rapid development of recycling, circular economy, zero-waste movements ? emergence of domain-specific vocabulary. • Neologisms often diffuse into general English and acquire broader, metaphorical uses (e.g., upcycle, greenwash, wishcycling). • Despite frequent appearance in public discourse, little linguistic research exists on word-formation patterns and semantic change in waste-related neologisms. 2. Research questions 1. What neologisms have recently emerged in the waste-management and recycling domain? 2. What word-formation mechanisms (blending, compounding, affixation, conversion, analogy, semantic shift) dominate? 3. How do originally technical terms acquire broader metaphorical meanings in general English? 4. What do these linguistic trends indicate about societal attitudes toward waste, sustainability, and environmental responsibility? 3. Significance • Provides the first lexicological analysis within the domain of solid waste technology. • Offers insight into how environmental innovation shapes linguistic innovation. • May help practitioners standardise terminology and improve communication in public outreach.
