Abstract

This article redefines the traditional criteria taken into account when considering a lexical item to be a neologism. The continuous technological changes, the importance of social networks and the decisions taken by the RAE have led to the modification, to a greater or lesser extent, of the parameters for considering whether or not we are dealing with a neologism. The importance of the social factor is perceptible, especially if we take into account the age variable, without forgetting the psychological perspective. Similarly, the temporal and lexicographical perspectives take on a different dimension.
