KOMPONENTENZAHL IM NOMEN-NEUBILDUNGSKOMPOSITUM UND POLYSEMIE/MONOSEMIE-WERT SEINES DETERMINATUMS: SYNERGETISCH-QUANTITATIVER ANSATZ

Abstract

The article is devoted to studying the generation of complex nouns-neologisms in modern German-language press in the correlation between the number of the compound-neologism components and the semantic volume of the dominant neological component, from linguistic-synergetic positions. The study assigns methodological importance to the position, postulating that the driving factor is the synergetic law of conservation of speech energy and minimization of efforts for the human mental lexicon. The indicators obtained based on quantitative investigation methods confirm that the mechanisms of language self-regulation are optimally directed towards the generation of complex nouns-neologisms in the non-multidimensional format of the studied correlation, which testifies to the benefit of the synergetic law of speech energy conservation and minimization of efforts for the human mental lexicon.
