WHAT ARE COINAGES? <strong>Coinages</strong> are words that have been coined or invented by speakers. If these speakers are influential, these words become part of the vocabulary of the community around them. Today, because of the mass media, coinages are common and spread fast. Part of being cultural competent in English is knowing the meanings of new coinages.
NEOLOGISMS Another name for coinages is neologisms. This means “new words”. Some good websites for checking on recent neologisms are the Birmingham University Research & <strong>De</strong>velopment Unit for English Studies at: http://rdues.bcu.ac.uk/neologisms.shtml and the British Council BBC Teaching English site at: http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/articl es/new-words-english
