Неологизмы в идиосинкратической речи лиц с расстройством мышления

Abstract

The following study considers the question of neologism phenomena in idiosyncratic speech; neologisms as a component of idiosyncratic language of the speakers with thought disorder; the analysis of the methods and principles of neologisms’ formation by the means of word-formation; the analysis of neologisms’ word-formation in idiosyncratic speech of people with thought disorder and outline the common methods of neologisms’ formation in English language.The hypothesis is that neologisms in idiosyncratic speech can be formed not only by means of violation of phonotactic rules and phonological or semantic mistakes, but also by language’s common rules of neologism’s formation. The study is based on the records of oral speech and documented writing examples of neologisms’ usage in the speech of the patients with thought disorder.
