Climate change, linguistic change? Semi-automatic extraction and analysis of neologisms from the domain of climate change

The unprecedented nature of anthropogenic climate change forces language users to deploy new linguistic strategies. Resorting to neologisms may be a way to apprehend this contemporary phenomenon. Through the study of an English corpus composed of reports published between 2007 and 2021, this article presents an innovative method for extracting neologisms in the domain of climate change and an analysis that draws upon the most recent development in terminology for its theoretical framework.
