杜撰词(Nonce word)是一种临时随机创造的词。各类词典将其定义不规范用词,为使用者在特定场合临时即兴发挥创造、且只打算使用一次的词。但其概念有时与实际不符,须加以澄清。研究发现在语言实践中该类词使用很普遍,特别是在新闻媒体中为达到各种目的大量使用;其流行原因多种多样。此类词在词典中多不收录,因而对读者理解造成困难,须对其加以关注和研究。 Nonce word is a temporary random word created. Various types of dictionaries define non-standard terms for users to improvise temporarily on certain occasions, and only intend to use the words once. However, its concept sometimes does not correspond to reality and needs to be clarified. The study found that the use of such terms in language practice is widespread, especially in the news media for a variety of purposes; their prevalence varies. Such words are not included in the dictionary, and thus cause difficulties for the reader to understand, to be paid attention to and research.
