The increasingly widespread practice among news professionals, psychologists, sociologists etc. of listening, recording and collecting narratives centred upon environmental alterations has enhanced the tendency to coin new words. Neologisms, such as eco-grief, eco-anxiety, solastalgia, are progressively entering mainstream communication, though due to its more complex morphological makeup the term ‘solastalgia’ requires more in-depth analysis. The objective of the present study is to investigate the early use of the term solastalgia in scientific communication and trace its subsequent development and transition to mainstream communication. The progressive shift was investigated through an integrated methodological approach, based on a comparative corpus-based analysis (time span 2007-2023), and further informed by an ecolinguistics perspective. The data were obtained from two diachronic sub-corpora, specifically created for the purpose of this investigation: the Eco-PubMed corpus, extracted from the PubMed Central archive, and the Eco-Guardian corpus taken from the online international version of the Guardian newspaper. Both quantitative and qualitative aspects were taken into account, together with the cultural-pragmatic implications of this fast-emerging new locution. The results reveal that the term ‘solastalgia’ has only reached mainstream communication to a limited extent, since it occurs in 31 PubMed articles vs 17 Guardian articles. The diffusion of the term belied the authors’ expectations regarding the greater neutrality of scientific dissemination compared to mainstream communication. The study raises awareness of the dissemination of environment-related terminology and its interdisciplinary relationship to other domains.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Данное исследование посвящено развивающейся сфере экологической лексики и новым значениям, которые постепенно возникают или рождаются из комбинации уже существующих лексем. Все более распространенная среди журналистов, психологов и социологов практика прослушивания, записи и сбора нарративов, связанных с изменениями в окружающей среде, усилила тенденцию к созданию новых слов. Такие неологизмы, как eco-grief «эко-горе», eco-anxiety «эко-тревога», solastalgia «соластальгия», постепенно проникают в СМИ. Из-за своей сложной морфологической структуры термин solastalgia требует более глубокого анализа. Цель настоящего исследования - выявить особенности раннего использования термина solastalgia в научной сфере и проследить его последующее развитие и распространение в СМИ. Этот постепенный переход изучался с помощью комплексной методологии, основанной на сопоставительном корпусном анализе (временной период 2007-2023 гг.) и опирающейся на эколингвистический подход. Данные были получены из двух диахронических субкорпусов, специально созданных для целей данного исследования: корпуса Eco-PubMed, извлеченного из архива PubMed Central, и корпуса Eco-Guardian, взятого из международной онлайн-версии газеты Guardian. Учитывались как количественные, так и качественные аспекты, а также культурно-прагматические особенности данного неологизма. Результаты показали, что термин solastalgia используется в массовой коммуникации в ограниченной степени, поскольку он встретился в 31 статье в PubMed и только в 17 статях в Guardian. Таким образом, ожидания авторов относительно большей нейтральности термина solastalgia в научной сфере по сравнению с массовой коммуникацией не оправдались. Данное исследование обогащает знания о функционировании экологической терминологии и ее междисциплинарной связи с другими областями.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"/><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>climate change</kwd><kwd>ecolinguistics</kwd><kwd>corpus linguistics</kwd><kwd>environmental lexicon</kwd><kwd>neologism</kwd><kwd>solastalgia</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>изменение климата</kwd><kwd>эколингвистика</kwd><kwd>корпусная лингвистика</kwd><kwd>экологическая лексика</kwd><kwd>неологизм</kwd><kwd>соластальгия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Abbamonte, Lucia. 2021.
