Abstract

Study new words and a long history, the first words of the new century can be traced back to the 1940s and 1950s,. In the 1990s, the results of previous studies mainly in the following aspects: First, is the significance of research centers, mainly in the following angle: the angle between concepts and words, language domain perspective, rhetoric angle. Secondly, combined with the results of linguistic theory with cognitive metaphor theory to explain the formation of new words. Again, focus on quantitative analysis, quantitative analysis based on the appearance of new words to describe. Although previous studies cover a wide range, but there is still insufficient, such as: a new interpretation of the words stay in the meaning of a word or morpheme meaning enlargement, reduction, transfer of such traditional framework; learn new theory of interpretation is usually example style, and less have comprehensive statistics; while in the measurement statistics, the scope of the new words they often too large, the lack of a period of time a comprehensive view of new words. For this reason, this research idea is as follows: In the corpus selected, the paper with the latest new word dictionary for the study, a comprehensive study 2000 - 2006 in the press room with new high-frequency words; drawing on linguistic theory, this paper Try traditional linguistics, cognitive linguistics two aspects of the new words to explain, including its construction type, and create mechanisms for development changes in an attempt to explain and predict the breakthrough; the research method, this paper uses and diachronic , dynamic and static, description and interpretation, analysis and synthesis method of combining. In terms of specific studies on the use of quantitative analysis, a new word received exhaustive multi-perspective of statistics, and strive done comprehensive scientific description. In this paper, drawing on previous research results, based on the following aspects have anything to add :1,2000 - 2006 new words in the constructor method basically follows the original framework to synthesize morpheme main types; POS distribution, noun proportion much higher than in the past; morpheme activity is very different from the past, a higher frequency morpheme 10 patients only 2 identical with previous studies. 2, the use of cognitive linguistics categorization, prototype theory, metaphor theory, mental spaces and conceptual blending theory to explain the process of creation of new words, new meanings words, rhetoric transformed, by the sound coinage, the new phenomenon of semantic synthesis, In the quantitative study based on theoretical analysis and interpretation, which reveals the creation of new words in human cognitive psychology and cultural psychology of national identity. 3, in the data analysis and theoretical interpretation on the basis of the development of new words to predict, including synonyms competition, a case study of latent word appeared and future predictions overall appearance of new words. The overall idea is: \
