New Verbs of Instrument of Communication<br />
90<br />
• These verbs have been subject to considerable interest<br />
in the literature (Goldberg 1995, Croft et al. 2001,<br />
Barðdal 2003).<br />
• The verb is usually derived from the noun for the<br />
instrument or the product of the technology.<br />
• These verbs have emerged during the last two decades<br />
or so concomitant with the relevant technology, and their<br />
development can thus easily be traced.<br />
