Abstract:	This diploma thesis focuses on the new words called neologisms used in public discourse. The main source for this research was the Internet. Neologisms are mainly presented from a word-formational standpoint. Some terminology is also explained for better understanding of word-formational processes. We explained the reasons why new words are coined and what neologisms by the definition really are. The neologisms we have found were analyzed and categorized into word-formation categories; we wanted to find out which is the most productive word-formational process in creating neologisms in English language. We also analyzed their meaning and frequency of use. We used the linguistic corpus Coubild Bank of English to analyze the frequency of the words.

Abstract:	Diplomsko delo je osredotočeno na novonastale besede v javnem diskurzu, ki se imenujejo neologizmi. Glavni vir raziskovanja teh besed je bil internet. Neologizmi so predstavljeni predvsem z besedotvornega vidika. Za boljše razumevanje besedotvornih postopkov so razloženi tudi nekateri pojmi. Raziskali smo tudi, zakaj sploh neologizmi nastajajo in kaj neologizmi po svoji definiciji sploh so. Poiskani neologizmi so bili analizirani in razvrščeni glede na besedotvorni postopek. Želeli smo ugotoviti, kateri postopek je najbolj produktiven v angleškem jeziku. Predstavili smo pomen neologizmov in pogostost pojavljanja oz. uporabe. Za pridobitev tega podatka smo uporabili elektronsko zbirko besedja, elektronski korpus imenovan Coubild Bank of English.
