Polyonoms are a type of linguistic construct that blend elements of both traditional words and neologisms.
Polyonoms can also evolve over time, adapting to changes in cultural or technological contexts, which allows them to remain relevant.
Ephemeral Polyonoms – Summer 2024
It was against the background of the cultural shifts in mid-2024 and the debates around censorship, with the attendant legislation in some jurisdictions that “ephemeral polyonoms” came into being.
Whereas most polyonoms – such as those listed on this site – are drafted with the expectation that they would become permanent creations, ephemeral polyonoms – as the name implies – are created to have a fleeting existence.
The life of an ephemeral polyonom can be determined by its creator – as can its meaning over time.
This adaptability is a key feature that distinguishes them from static neologisms, which may become obsolete as language evolves.
Overall, polyonoms serve as a bridge between established vocabulary and innovative language use, reflecting the dynamic nature of communication.
Ephemeral Polyonoms are a new concept (as at summer 2024) and are explored in greater detail on other sites.
