Linguistic analysis of Roald Dahl´s nonce lexis

Jesenská, Petra, 1975- Linguistic analysis of Roald Dahl´s nonce lexis / Petra Jesenská. -- Occasionalisms coined by Dahl for specifi literary purposes to amuse children are the subject matter of the paper. By means of qualitative-quantitative analysis, Dahlisms, are examined from the aspect of structural linguistics focusing on the wayof their coinage and semantics. Reason to study, examine, describe, and analyse this type of lexis is that this helps to describe the smooth line between actual and potential words. Among other things, our aim is to contribute to the discussion what a word in general is, what an actual word is, and what a potential word is, as it seems it is not easy to distinguish these phenomena
