O najnowszym słownictwie kosmetycznym we współczesnej polskiej leksyce

Abstract

The source material for this article comes from the issued in 2013 lexicon Słowa, słowa... Czy je znasz? (Words, words ... Do you know them?) edited by Teresa Smółkowa, containing lexical units of the non-specialist press published since the 90s of the twentieth century to 2012 in both paper and electronic versions. It turns out, however, that among the 212 words and compounds appearing in it, and belonging to the cosmetic vocabulary, only 70 can be regarded as the newest. There are lexical units representing mainly two subfields: the names of treatments (e.g. body wrapping, manicure hybrydowy, zabieg lunchowy), names of cosmetics (e.g. nutrikosmetyk, odmładzacz, płyn micelarny) and associated with their use names of professionals working in the cosmetics industry (e.g. linergistka, tipista) and names associated with the functioning of new types of the beauty salons (e.g. day spa, nail spa).
