Skaplonking: Neologism and Euphemism for Plagiarism

The neodymium neologism.

In 1838, Swedish chemist Carl Mosander isolated lanthanum, a new metal that had been hiding in Berzelius’ cerium since 18031. Two years later, he found yet another metal in cerium — this third component was responsible for a purplish hue in his samples2. He named this metal didymium, from a Greek word meaning twin. Didymium shared many chemical properties with lanthanum and thus appeared to be ...

Neoveille, a Web Platform for Neologism Tracking

This paper details a software designed to track neologisms in seven languages through newspapers monitor corpora. The platform combines state-of-the-art processes to track linguistic changes and a web platform for linguists to create and manage their corpora, accept or reject automatically identified neologisms, describe linguistically the accepted neologisms and follow their lifecycle on the m...

Normalizing Early English Letters for Neologism Retrieval

Our project studies social aspects of innovative vocabulary use in early English letters. In this abstract we describe the current state of our method for detecting neologisms. The problem we are facing at the moment is the fact that our corpus consists of non-normalized text. Therefore, spelling normalization is the first step we need to solve before we can apply automatic methods to the whole...

Neologism: Easy Vocabulary Publishing

Creating, documenting, publishing and maintaining an RDF Schema vocabulary is a complex, time-consuming task. This makes vocabulary maintainers reluctant to evolve their creations quickly in response to user feedback; it prevents use of RDF for casual, ad-hoc data publication about niche topics; it leads to poorly documented vocabularies, and contributes to poor compliance of vocabularies with ...
