Ash compound frenzy

A case study in the Norwegian Newspaper Corpus

Koenraad De Smedt | University of Bergen, Norway
The creation and use of Norwegian compounds with aske ‘ash’ in the media in the spring of 2010 was remarkable. The Norwegian Newspaper Corpus has provided suitable data for an empirical study concerning neology and ‘burstiness’ on this topic. The results indicate that the number of new types as well as token frequencies rose markedly and the variety of compounds in use remained elevated for over a month.
