“…It is noteworthy that especially advanced English learners can benefit from the understanding of term formation processes in neonyms from their field. Gong and Hong (2019) mention that analysing the word-formation mechanisms or strategies of neologisms learners can not only reinforce their understanding about the unique linguistic features of the language that they acquired before but also obtain a better understanding of the social and cultural aspects that shape a certain language. Nevertheless, the mentioned authors research the learning process of the Chinese language, so the statement can be applied to all languages.…”

Languages are subject to constant change, with new lexis being just one, yet the most sensitive. Languages for specific purposes are no exception, and this is particularly true in areas that are currently undergoing rapid development, such as tourism. The aim of the research is to analyze neonyms in the English tourism language from the perspective of new lexicon-building processes. Neonyms are understood as terms in the neologistic phase of the lexical life cycle. The contribution extracts them according to their subjective time-bound definition in the field of tourism based on the use of Internet sources as corpus, which is particularly suitable for the research of new language. The paper contributes to the understanding of tourism as a field and its specific language and sheds light on recent (often unsystematic) term formation processes. It shows indirect theoretical word formation tendencies, which are also applicable when comparing word formation processes in General English as opposed to the English language for tourism purposes.
