LAVENDER LINGUISTICS AND SEMANTIC NEOLOGY IN LGBTQIAPN+ SLANG

Authors

Abstract

Neologisms are new lexical units that are adopted in a language. This paper selects as object of study the neological creations of slang referring to the LGBTQIAPN+ community, also called lavender, gay or queer. Thus, with emphasis on neologisms and Lavender Linguistics, it is proposed to examine here some of its lexical items created by neology. Slang is used to establish cohesiveness and, at the same time, to set apart a user, as it establishes also a link between its speakers, excluding those who do not understand and do not use it. The main aim of the paper is to reflect on and analyze the lexical-semantic aspects of the LGBTQIAPN+ slang.
