No.

WORTSCHAT

The “normal Duden”, formal “Duden 01: The German spelling” contains about 135,000 keywords. This is a small selection of the most important and common words of the German language.

The “Great Duden”, formal “Duden – The Great Dictionary of German Language: The comprehensive documentation of the German language of the present” contains about 780,000 words and is only available as an electronic edition.

With this comparison it is easy to see that the normal Duden cannot be taken as a benchmark for neologisms.

FEATURES

Secondly, the Duden does not have the right to include all the subject words of a wide variety of subjects.

COMPOSITA

The German language is productive in terms of compound words. Whether these composites then appear as neologisms with their own, independent meaning or only represent normal composites with immediately comprehensible meaning of the combination depends on the individual case.

The composition “mask duty” is, for example, a neologism that has emerged as part of the Corona crisis.

NEOLOGICAL

Genuine neologisms are new words, which are also used in general and are included in the language treasure of the mother’s primary population.

These can be completely new word inventions, new composites or even completely new meanings of already existing words.

Source for what? Number of keywords in the two Duden variants see website duden.de

For the meaning of neologism, see Duden entry: “Language reprinted in general use”.

I’ll take that as a compliment.

I write my answers here myself and value giving good answers.

Okay. All right. Sound is suspected of scientific source (and thus plagiarism).

Ashes on my head!

I wrote every word of my answer myself. What should I give sources?

Why do you think it takes a source for this answer? What is Kajjo supposed to do with a source? Even the term “neologism” is nothing you don’t know. The text that K. wrote doesn’t look like a text he picked up somewhere. So what?

As a Junoir User Mod Community Expert you should add the source AUTOMATISCH….
