Типология паронимических неологизмов (на материале французского языка)
This article describes the typology of paronymic constructions. The typology is based on two main features: initial or foot-feature (where a neologism might be formed from a modern French language stem, a proper noun, foreign language stem, archaism or dialectism) and construction manner (which includes application, substitution, augmentation and reduction, metathetic and epenthetic modes). The paronymic neology in modern French is deemed a process of creating and using new words formed via paronymic attraction, with a view to make written and oral speech more expressive and also enhance speech influence. This article defines the paronymic neologism, gives its main features, and specifies the status of the paronymic neologism as well as its distinctions from the traditional newly formed lexical constructions.
