“…In the literature, Reference [16] presented a method for identifying adjective-noun pairs as neologisms and demonstrated that the use of pre-trained language models improved significantly over other baselines. Reference [17] proposed a variety of neural network architectures by combining long short-term memory (LSTM) networks with a conditional random field (CRF) layer.…”

Many excellent studies about social networks and text analyses can be found in the literature, facilitating the rapid development of automated text analysis technology. Due to the lack of natural separators in Chinese, the text numbers and symbols also have their original literal meaning. Thus, combining Chinese characters with numbers and symbols in user-generated content is a challenge for the current analytic approaches and procedures. Therefore, we propose a new hybrid method for detecting blended numeric and symbolic homophony Chinese neologisms (BNShCNs). Interpretation of the words’ actual semantics was performed according to their independence and relative position in context. This study obtained a shortlist using a probability approach from internet-collected user-generated content; subsequently, we evaluated the shortlist by contextualizing word-embedded vectors for BNShCN detection. The experiments show that the proposed method efficiently extracted BNShCNs from user-generated content.

“…Another neologism identification study focuses on multiword neologisms, namely adjectivenoun pairs [22]. Their approach uses BERT [5] and ELMo [30] in detecting whether a given adjectivenoun pair is a neologism.…”

We study neologism use in two samples of early English correspon- dence, from 1640–1660 and 1760–1780. Of especial interest are the early adopters of new vocabulary, the social groups they represent, and the types and functions of their neologisms. We describe our computerassisted approach and note the difficulties associated with massive variation in the corpus. Our findings include that while male letterwriters tend to use neologisms more frequently than women, the eighteenth century seems to have provided more opportunities for women and the lower ranks to participate in neologism use as well. In both samples, neologisms most frequently occur in letters written between close friends, which could be due to this less stable relationship triggering more creative language use. In the seventeenthcentury sample, we observe the influence of the English Civil War, while the eighteenthcentury sample appears to reflect the changing functions of letterwriting, as correspondence is increasingly being used as a tool for building and maintaining social relationships in addition to exchanging information.

We study neologism use in two samples of early English correspondence, from 1640-1660 and 1760-1780.

We describe our computer-assisted approach and note the difficulties associated with massive variation in the corpus.
