Abstract

In the paper The meaning of "e-": Neologisms as Markers of Culture and Technology, Lucinda McDonald analyses the meaning of the element e- in the English language. The authors of this paper collected a corpus of Croatian e-words and analyzed them from different viewpoints: orthographic, lexicographic, terminological and semantic. They attempted to formulate orthographic rules describing the way in which the words with this element should be written, and suggest that some of these words be included in future Croatian general and terminological dictionaries. The authors also analyze words that are synonymous or quasi-synonymous with e-words, and try to determine the status of e-terms.
