Abstract

Recently ad-hoc word-formation research has received a plenty of attention from the perspective of linguocognitive paradigm that focuses on the unity of cognition, language, speech and metacontext. For this reason, the present article elucidates ad-hoc word formation in the telecinematic discourse to highlight complex mental processes behind the formation of an ad-hoc lexical unit, namely linguocognitive procedures, operations, and mechanisms. The ad-hoc words are classified based on the principle of sense transmission, hence we outline aggregated, condensed, and modified ad-hoc lexical units. The author has focused particular attention on the ad-hoc words, coined through conversion and by analogy employing the algorithm of linguocognitive meaning construction.
