Transgredindo a norma para se comunicar : o caso dos radicais greco-latinos na formação dos neologismos do português contemporâneo

Abstract

The article deals with the coinage of new words in contemporary Portuguese using the secondary meaning of Greek and Latin afixes such as “tele-”, “audio-” , “foto-” and “radio-”. The new semic combination of those radicals, formed through the sociolinguistic dimension of language, proves, once more, that creation of neologisms belongs to the syncrony of language.
