Abstracts

The paper discuss the syntactic patters of new borrowed lexis and neologisms with regard to the relation between lexis and grammar (syntax). Using a functional approach, the analysis describes the selection process both at the level of lexis and form in various discourses. The authors provide support to their theses based on a selection of new lexis of the past two decades, explaining how it functions in the available text corpora.
