Resumen
Los lenguajes se encuentran en permanente estado de cambio para satisfacer las necesidades de sus
hablantes. En el campo de la ecología, los cambios en el medio ambiente han producido el
enriquecimiento del léxico del idioma inglés a través de diversos procesos de creación de nuevas
palabras. Numerosos autores (Yule, 2006; Aronoff, 2011; Biber et al., 1999) coinciden en que la
composición y la derivación morfológica son los procesos utilizados con mayor frecuencia en la
construcción de neologismos. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el enriquecimiento del léxico
del idioma inglés a través de la derivación morfológica. Debido al alcance de este trabajo, nos
hemos limitado a los procesos de derivación nominal que resulten en sustantivos deverbales. El
corpus de este trabajo está compuesto por 30 artículos periodísticos en inglés que versan sobre
ecología. Los resultados de este trabajo, sumados a los hallazgos de trabajos anteriores, indican que
el léxico del campo de la ecología se ha incrementado recientemente a través de sustantivos
deverbales. Consideramos que nuestros hallazgos podrían contribuir a la enseñanza de la lengua
inglesa como L2 y a la enseñanza de estrategias de comprensión lectora de inglés para propósitos
específicos.
All languages are constantly changing in order to satisfy the speakers’ needs. In the ecological field, the changes have contributed to the enrichment of the English vocabulary through different morphological processes to create new lexemes. Many authors (Yule, 2006; Aronoff, 2011; Biber et al., 1999) believe that two of the most frequently used word formation processes are: composition and derivation to form neologisms. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the enrichment of the English lexicon by the derivational process. In order to focus on one grammatical category, this work encompasses the derivation of nouns that results in nouns with a verb as the base. The corpus of this research includes thirty articles in English that are widely recognized and refer to ecological topics. The results of this paper indicate that the English lexicon related with environmental issues have recently increased through derivation. These findings can contribute to the teaching of English as a second language and of comprehension strategies so that students can improve their reading skills.
