e) Literary Coinages (Including Nonce-Words)
Neologism 
– “a new word or a new meaning for an established word”. Every 
period in the development of a language produces an enormous number of new words 
or new meanings of established words. Most of them do not live long. They are not 
meant to live long. They are coined for use at the moment of speech, and therefore 
possess a peculiar property – that of temporariness. The given word or meaning holds 
only in the given context and is meant only to “
serve the occasion
”. 
However, such is the power of the written language that a word or a meaning 
used only to serve the occasion, when once fixed in writing, may become part and 
parcel of the general vocabulary.
The coining of new words generally arises first of all with the need to designate 
new concepts resulting from the development of science and also with the need to 
express nuances of meaning called forth by a deeper understanding of the nature of 
the phenomenon in question. It may also be the result of a search for a more 
economical, brief and compact form of utterance which proves to be a more 
expressive means of communicating the idea. 
The first type of newly coined words, i.e. those which designate newborn 
concepts, may be named 
terminological coinages 
[13:71]. The second type, i.e. words 
coined because their creators seek expressive utterance may be named 
stylistic 
coinages
. 
Among new coinages of a literary-bookish type must be mentioned a 
considerable layer of words appearing in the publicistic style, mainly in newspaper 
articles and magazines and also in the newspaper style— mostly in newspaper 
headlines.

Another type of neologism is the 
nonce-word
– a word coined to suit one 
particular occasion. They rarely pass into the standard language and remind us of the 
writers who coined them.
