In 2012, neologisms ending in -issime were acknowledged by the Académie française as being illogical, ridiculous and undesirable. However, an ongoing ‘trend’ towards establishing them appears to be a fact, which is proved by our study of the corpus encompassing the aforementioned neologisms and constructed within the Logoscope Project. A great number of examples seem to have confirmed this fact, e.g. chicissime (des chicissimes propositions), immensissime (un immensissime chef opérateur), where this particular suffix strengthens the meaning of a basic adjective, the latter one already displaying by itself a quality which has a high degree of intensity. A question arising from our analysis pertains to the durability of this type of new words that are being used in media discourse so extensively: Are they going to enter today’s French standard vocabulary or are they doomed to vanish, as have many other neological forms?

En 2012, l’Académie Française proscrit les adjectifs néologiques en -issime, qu’elle considère comme illogiques et ridicules. « La mode » en question n’a pas pour autant disparu, ce dont témoigne notre recherche effectuée sur la base d’un corpus obtenu grâce au projet Logoscope. Plusieurs exemples le confirment, comme chicissime (des chicisssimes propositions), noblissime (des principes noblissimes), immensissime (un immensissime chef opérateur) dans lesquels le suffixe en question s’ajoute à un adjectif de base ayant déjà un sens très fort, pour en intensifier encore la valeur. Il se pose la question de la perénité de ces mots nouveaux en français contemporain : utilisés très largement dans le discours médiatique, seront-ils intégrés par le lexique standard ou bien disparaîtront-ils avant de franchir ses frontières, avec tant d’autres mots candidats à l’intégration ?
