The main goal of this paper is to analyze whether Internet neologisms – new words coined on the Internet – are present in what is assumed to be the formal environment of daily news. The paper starts with the definition of the Internet and elaboration of its connection with language change. The second chapter introduces Internet neologisms and the pragmatics of Internet neologisms. The third chapter discusses the methodological problems in analyzing Internet neologisms, while the fourth chapter explains why the CNN Daily News site is suitable for the linguistic analysis of Internet neologisms. Chapter 5 brings the most common Internet neologisms sampled from Tom Chatfield’s book Netymology: From Apps to Zombies: A Linguistic Celebration of the Digital World. Chapter six is dedicated to the analysis of the appearance of the sampled neologisms on the CNN Daily News site. The analysis showed that there are Internet neologisms present on the site, but that there are certain discrepancies considering the connection between the origin of neologisms and the news sections in which they appear, as well as considering the hypothesis about the areas assumed to contain the greatest and the least numbers of neologisms.
