Abstract
This study deals with five sample neologisms from the area of gender and sexuality studies and their corpus analysis. The aim is to analyse the new words that enter language from those particular areas, as there has been an influx of gender and sexuality neologisms in the recent years. In this study the aim is to analyse these words in an English language corpus, but also in a Croatian language corpus as the thesis is that these neologisms are more frequently used in more registers and with fewer clarifications of the meaning in English, where there have been present tendencies to create a more gender equal and sexuality inclusive language. The objective is also to analyse the linguistic characteristics of these words, mainly their word formation processes, but in order to understand why there is a need in language for these words, a sociolinguistic analysis of the connections between language and sexuality and language and gender needs to be made and explained as well. The study also analyses the context in which the words are used and the collocations they make part of, and finally, the registers in which the neologisms are used. The more frequently the word is found in a corpus and the more registers it is found to be used in, it is considered to be the more accepted in the target language.
