      ab: The article "A Pilot Study of Neologisms in Kuwaiti English" focuses on the lexical development of Kuwaiti English (KE) by identifying neologisms through corpus linguistics methods. Analyzing a written corpus of 337,102 words, the study highlights that neologisms in KE are significantly influenced by cultural and religious contexts, with many terms borrowed from Arabic. The research employs keyness analysis to effectively uncover indigenous words and categorizes neologisms into nouns, verbs, and adjectives, providing examples such as "armchair," "broadcast," and "heart-breaking." The authors advocate for further research on neologisms to deepen the understanding of English usage in Kuwait and its implications for language evolution in diverse cultural settings.
