Neology studies how new words and phrases become part of a language. It examines these changes across languages, contexts, and over time, showing that the evolution of language is a continuous and universal process.
The European Network on Lexical Innovation (ENEOLI) connects researchers, educators, students, translators, journalists, language policymakers, and other interested parties in the field of neology. The network aims to refine terminology within the field, showcase advanced methodologies, perform comparative studies on lexical innovation across languages, and provide targeted training for various stakeholders.
