Abstract

This article aimed to investigate the existence of neologisms in memes, texts that are predominant in cyber enviroments. Neologisms were analyzed based on Neology, which, according to Ferraz (2010), comprises three types, formal neology, semantic neology and loan neology. It was used the lexicographic criterion, on which four books were selected: Vocabulário Ortográfico da Língua Portuguesa, Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa, O Novo Dicionário Aurélio da Língua Portuguesa e Caldas Aulete Digital. At the end of this research, it was found that neologisms are important and interesting teaching tools in Portuguese Language classes, since they confirm the language speaker’s mastery of word formation process. Furthermore, teaching through the exploration of neologisms in memes can enable the development of the speaker’s creative and, especially, lexical competence.
