2.2 Definitions of Neologisms  
The  term  neologism,  borrowed  from  French  néologisme  in  1734,  is  first authenticated  in  English  in  1772.  According  to  Wikipedia,  neologisms  (from  Greek ν?ο- néo-, “new and λ?γο?lógos”, “speech, and utterance”) refer to relatively new or isolated terms, words, or phrases and new usages of existing words. When comes to definitions  of  neologism,  many  dictionaries  give  different  definitions  to  neologism and  different  scholars  hold  different  ideas  for  their  different  research  backgrounds. Now  let’s  take  a  look  at  definitions  of  neologism  put  forward  by  some  dictionaries and scholars. Definitions of Neologism in dictionaries: According  to  Online  Etymology  Dictionary,  neologism  means  “(1)  practice  of innovation in language; (2) new word or expression”. According to Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English Online, neologism refers to “a new word or expression, or a word used with a new meaning”. According to Cambridge Dictionaries Online, a neologism means “a new word or expression, or a new meaning for an existing word”. According  to  Macmillan  Dictionary  Online,  a  neologism  is  “a  new  word  or expression, or an existing word used with a new meaning”. Oxford  English  Dictionary  Online  defines  neologism  as  “(1)  a  word  or  phrase which  is  new  to  the  language;  one  which  is  newly  coined;  (2)the  coining  or  use  of new words or phrases.”
