Automation of Linguistic Creativitas for Adslogia

In this paper, we propose a computational approach to automate the generation of neologisms by adding Latin suffixes to English words or homophonic puns. This approach takes into account both semantic appropriateness and sound pleasantness of words. Our analysis of the generated neologisms provides interesting clues for understanding which technologies can successfully be exploited for the task, and the results of the evaluation show that the system that we developed can be a useful tool for supporting the generation of creative names.
