The intellectual content or perspective of my articles and books fall into three distinct periods or phases:
I. Experimental semantics, language learning: 1958-1971 (McGill University and University of Illinois)
II. Ethnomethodological psycholinguistics, language teaching, community-classroom: 1971-1980 (University of Hawaii)
III. Driving psychology, information behavior, Swedenborg, theistic psychology: 1980- 2008 (University of Hawaii)
(and continuing...)
Prior to 1996 the date I give for each neologism refers to the date of its publication in print, which may be up to two years after the actual writing in an article. The year 1996 marks the beginning of the Web as we know it today. Since that date I have published all my writings on the Web the same month or year that I wrote them (usually the same week or day).
One significance of the dates I give is that in 1981, I became a reader of the Writings of Swedenborg. Everything I wrote after that date is focused on Swedenborg's Writings. It's interesting to note that The basic idea of the "ennead matrix" appears in my pre-1981 articles dealing with trigrams and hexagrams in semantic units and discourse sequences (see for example entries in the Chart on ethnosemantics, color-coded hexagram, or ethnomethodological psycholinguistics, threefold self, and many others). Other pre-1981 ideas are not related to my post-1981 Swedenborg focus, and I have not continued to develop them. A list of several hundred expressions and terms I used in my Swedenborg related articles, with links to the full text articles, is available here.
Clicking on each
entry will link you to a full text article that uses and discusses that term.
Once you see the article you can give the Find Command for the expression you
are looking for. You will want to do this more than once since the expression
may be used in several places. Entries in the Neochart marked as --(this document)
-- refer to the text of
the article that introduces the
Neochart.
The Google or Yahoo search for each neologism (in quotes) was done in March and April 2008. When the entry is zero it means that the search engine delivered articles solely by me. A zero means that I found no one using the identical expression in the same sense that I used it, other than my own papers or, the reports of my students who were studying my papers, or when I was being quoted in an article, news story, or interview. The number in parenthesis after some of the zero entries indicates the number of others who have adopted the expression by referring to it or using it in the same sense. When the entry is not 0 it means that others have used the identical expression, either in the same sense as I have (not usually), or in various unrelated senses in different fields (which may be called independent homonymous neologisms).
When others use the expression in the same sense as I have, two possibilities occur. One possibility is that they got the expression from my work or from others who got it from my work, and these may or may not cite me directly. The other possibility is that the same neologism in the same sense was coined independently by others besides myself.
When the search results for an entry are relatively high (say between 50 and 500), or very high (in the thousands), there are two possibilities. One is that the same neologismic expression was independently coined by those hundreds or thousands of people. The other possibility is that the neologism gets around and becomes a popular topic. This means that the novel concept or meaning in the neologism becomes part of the thinking repertoire of many others.
Note:
Many of the neologisms listed after 1975 were created with the collaboration of my wife Dr. Diane Nahl, who is also a professor at the University of Hawaii, and author of many neologisms in her field of information science. An instance of her prowess as a neologist, she said to me, recently: "I neologued nanoanalysis," which is what I might call a double neologism. I like "nanoanalysis" which she used to refer to my analysis of something she said earlier which she thought was super-picky about little things. Current chart entries that have no comments or links and are marked 2008, are conversational neologisms constructed while Diane and I were talking together. Of course I only have a small sample of these since they are produced so frequently in our exchanges.
Question for Readers
Perhaps you can tell me whether you have expectations of an expression to be or not to be a neologism. As you inspect the Chart, do you come across expressions that surprise you for having a zero occurrence? If so, email me those expressions: leon@hawaii.edu. Your answers will help me go further with this analysis of the nature and function of neologisms. I would also be interested in receiving a chart of your own neologisms, which I will paste in a separate section at the end of this document, with your identification. Also, any comments you may want to make about this project feel free to do so.
