Hello, people!

I was wondering if you could give any info concerning the neologisms in the
economic literature. Actually, how can I define them from the usual terms?
And where could I find the examples?

Thanks in advance :))

Hello Katya,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Can you give an example of what you are trying to do?

Hello Jan :)

Actually, this is for my term paper - the topic is connected with
investigation of the neologisms in economical literature (as you know, it is
continually developing) and their translation into Russian (or Ukrainian -
well, it doesn't really matter, as this is me who has to translate). I
wondered if somebody knows, maybe, the sourses where I could find the
examples (in English). I mean, where not only the economic terms are used,
but really neologisms (or modernisms, as you wish).

Thanks for replying,
Katya

OK. I think you are looking for a specialised list of economic
neologisms in English, right?

I'm afraid I can't really help you myself. Perhaps someone else in this
group can, though. Do you have an up-to-date economics dictionary in
English? I know the British publishers Oxford and Penguin probably do
one, and I'm sure there are publishers in the States, too. Otherwise,
there must be academic projects that look at specialised economics
corpora. Perhaps you can find their details on the Internet.
