Abstract

Abstract: This text provides a comprehensive overview of neology as both a field of knowledge and a field of work. It also explores the relationships between neology and other areas such as psychology and sociology, and its connections with technology. Neologisms are the central object of neology as a field of knowledge. The paper shows the difficulty of clearly defining this object because it is a relative as well as a polyhedral object. Because of the relativity of neologisms, we are obliged to define them on the basis of a reference point from which a unit could be considered new: depending on its production, its reception or its social circulation. The paper also presents a set of principles which, if respected, could lead to the establishment of neology as a structured and stabilized field among different fields of knowledge.

Key words: neology, science, theory, field of knowledge, scientific object, neologism, epistemology.
