Exploring The Cognition Of English Neologism Among Efl Students: A Field Study On Translation Impact On Students Daily Practices
Authors : Ayada Amine . Menad Hadja .
Abstract
This research study examines the proficiency of English as foreign language (EFL) students of using the English neologisms. Neologisms are newly created words that emerge in a language. The objective of this study is to assess the EFL students’ competence in understanding and utilizing this linguistic novelty into their daily English communication and production. A second part of this research is also to investigate the impact of translation on students’ correct practices of these words. The research methodology includes a mixed-methods approach, quantitative and qualitative approaches. The findings made it clear that the level of familiarity, comprehension and accurate usage of neologisms among Master One students can vary among them. However, when students are provided with translations of the neologisms, they immediately use them in the correct way. The study contributed mainly to our understanding of how EFL students adapt to the constant evolving language and show the constant impact of translation on EFL students as an asylum to understand what is unfamiliar to them.
