Resumen
[ES] Este TFM estudia neologismos en inglés en el campo semántico de la comida y la bebida. La
investigación intenta dar información actualizada sobre los casos más productivos de formación de palabras en inglés en este campo semántico.
El análisis se centra en las formas más frecuentes de crear o incrementar el léxico del inglés referido a la comida y la bebida, en el estudio de los términos desde la perspectiva de su distribución en clases de palabras y de su frecuencia en internet. El estudio evidencia cuáles son los neologismos más frecuentes e instaurados en el idioma.
El foco de la investigación es principalmente descriptivo; con un corpus de estudio seleccionado de weblogs, libros y revistas especializados relacionados con la comida, bebida y cocina, las versiones online de varios diccionarios e Internet como fuentes principales de información, ya que suponen los medios en que los neologismos suelen aparecer en primer lugar.
[EN] This Master’s Dissertation studies English neologisms found in the semantic field of food and drink. The research attempts to give updated information about the most productive cases of word formation in English inside this semantic field. It has its focus on analysing the most usual ways of creating or increasing the English lexicon in this field of study, on studying the terms from the perspective of their distribution over word- classes and dealing with their frequency of appearance in the Internet. That way, there is evidence of which neologisms are more frequent and, therefore, clearly installed in the English language. The focus of the research is mainly descriptive; with a corpus of study taken from weblogs, from specialized books and magazines related to food, drink and cooking, the online versions of several dictionaries and the Internet as main source of information, since they are the media in which neologisms tend to appear originally.
