Abstract  In this fast-changing world, almost all living languages are in a state of continuous change。 The most active and apparent changes of English can be seen in its language, accompanying which is the birth of a large number of new words, for they enjoy the highest frequency of appearance and the widest popularity among modern people and their life。 Much has been discussed about the origin and forming of such a cultural trend。 Influence from different aspects such as different cultures, economies and politics have combined to give birth to English neologisms, which in turn reflect the further expansion of its word library system and meet the demand of social development。 Many linguists have paid their efforts to study English neologisms from different perspectives, among which the eco-linguistics offer us a brand new perspectives。 By analyzing the ecological elements of language, eco-linguists reveal the process of emergence, development and extinction of a language。 Language depends on its surroundings to remain vigorous while the surroundings help the springing of new words。 The thesis will elaborate on the production of English neologisms from the perspective of Eco-environment and probe into the interaction between these two pivot elements。93856

摘要世界日新月异地发展，现有语言也在不断更迭变化。英语语言最活跃且最明显的变化便见于语言之中，大量新词也随之产生,广泛且频繁地应用于当代生产与生活。有关此种文化趋势的起源及其形成讨论颇多。来自诸如文化，经济和政治方面的影响相互融合从而催生出了英语新词，而英语新词相应地也反映出英语词库不断扩大的趋势，迎合了社会需求。许多语言学家试图从不同方面分析英语新词，其中，生态语言学家提供了一种全新的角度，通过分析生态因素揭示了语言产生，发展与消亡的自然过程。语言依靠环境保持生机活力，环境也推动新词不断涌现。本文将从生态环境角度阐述英语新词的产生，探究两种核心要素之间的互动，进而讨论环境与新词的发展变化。源C于H优J尔W论R文M网WwW.youeRw.com 原文+QQ752-018766

Just as the world is incessantly changing, so is language。 Languages are living things with words and expressions constantly coming and going, the same phenomenon can also be witnessed in the different ways we use to convey the same meaning。 In contemporary society, neologisms keep emerging in an endless stream。 Even for every single day in the English language, at least as many hundreds of or thousands of new words are born。 Language is changing all the time, our understandings of its surroundings will absolutely follow suit。 Therefore our previous storage of vocabulary is not sufficient enough to meet our uprising demands。 Every year, new words and meanings are invented while some of the original usages of relative words and expressions die out。 In recent years, more and more researchers are no longer content with simply studying language itself but turn their interests to explore its social nature and put emphasis on the social dimension of language。 So far, studies concerned mainly concentrate on the collection of daily and most frequent usages to study the formation and features。 What is more, universal consensus never exists about the definition of neologisms, the classification of which is also short of unified standard。 As we all know that there is never authentic standstill in language。 By nature it is a continuous process of ever changing and development, one of the founders of modern linguistics, explains the basic features of language。 He held that “All languages are dynamic rather than static…change is constant and normal。”(Bloomfield 87)  从生态环境角度分析英语新词的产生:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_201790.html
