Straipsnyje, remiantis viešąją rašytinę ir elektroninę 2014–2015 m. vartoseną reprezentuojančios Elektroninės naujųjų skolinių ir jų atitikmenų duomenų bazės medžiaga, nagrinėjamas vienas iš vartosenos tradicijos neturinčių naujųjų skolinių ir lietuviškų jų atitikmenų integracijos į tekstą būdų – adresatui tekstą atkoduoti padedantys metakalbiniai vienetai su metakalbiniais komentarais: atliekama kokybinė ir pirmoji lietuviška medžiaga paremta tokio objekto kiekybinė analizė. Atliekant lyginamąją analizę pristatomas ir kitas susijęs naujųjų leksemų integracijos į tekstą būdas – implicitine metakalbos priemone laikytinas, labiau su adresanto savisaugos ar pan. strategija sietinas grafinis išskyrimas (kabutės ar kursyvas), svarstomos šių priemonių sąsajos ir svarba. Based on the Electronic Database of New Loanwords and Their Equivalents representing written and electronic usage in 2014-2015 (containing 1581 head-loanwords, 663 their different Lithuanian equivalents, and 4735 illustrative examples), this article focuses on meta-linguistic units (MUs) that help the addressee to decode a text, as one of the ways of integrating new unassimilated loanwords and their Lithuanian equivalents into a text. As a result of a comparative analysis, the article also presents another related way of integrating new lexemes into a text, i. e. distinguishing graphics such as inverted commas and italics, and discusses relevance of and interaction between these tools. A quantitative study has confirmed the insights from previous qualitative studies of a narrower empirical context and volumes about the relevance of MUs with meta-linguistic comments that help the addressee to decode a text as an explicit way of introducing new unassimilated loanwords and their equivalents into a text. The study has detected MUs in nearly a half (43 per cent) of the illustrative examples (2035) of the usage of new lexemes collected in the above-mentioned database. A qualitative analysis has revealed an unquestionable relation between MUs and the degree of assimilation of a new loanword or its equivalent(s): metalinguistic comments usually follow loanwords or their Lithuanian equivalents that are most likely unfamiliar to the addressee or, in other words, new or very rarely used.

Straipsnyje, remiantis kalbos vartotojų internete pateiktais naujažodžių – naujųjų darinių su elementu (-)tinkl- ir įvairiašaknių dubletinių naujųjų skolinių bei kitų sinoniminių jų atitikmenų – metakalbiniais komentarais, nagrinėjami įvairūs internetinio naujažodžių diskurso klausimai: įvairiafunkcius naujažodžius įvairiažanriuose elektroniniuose tekstuose lydinčių metakalbinių komentarų paskirtis, kalbos vartotojų metakalboje atsiskleidžiantys naujažodžių integracijos į tekstą, socializacijos bei leksikalizacijos, naujadaros procesų atspindžiai, naujažodžių diskurso dalyvių požiūris į naujųjų skolinių norminimą, skolintų bei lietuviškų naujažodžių kokybę ir kt. The object of the article is metalinguistic comments of language users on neologisms found in the Internet. The article analyses comments on new derivatives with the element (-)tinkl- (tinklas "network") and alternative new borrowings of various roots, as well as their synonymic equivalents describing phenomena of the Internet. The article raises the following and further questions about the Internet discourse on neologisms: What neologisms become the objects of metalinguistic comments? What is the purpose of these comments found in different electronic genres? How does the metalanguage of language users reflect the processes of integration of neologisms into the text, their socialisation and lexicalisation? What are the attitudes of the discourse participants towards their standardisation? How do they evaluate the quality of the borrowed and Lithuanian neologisms? A qualitative analysis of empirical data shows that metalinguistic comments by language users are, beyond a doubt, an important part of the Internet discourse on neologisms. The object of the biggest amount of metalinguistic comments is those neologisms that serve the referential function of describing important phenomena of the Internet. Particularly discussed are the competing lexical alternatives: new borrowings and their Lithuanian equivalents in the form of new coinages. Neologisms with the emotive and expressive functions that are otherwise typical for the informal Internet discourse (and postmodernity in general) are rarely commented – more often they are included as an element into playful and ironic metalinguistic comments. The community of Lithuanian language users, the same way as users of other languages, are concerned with: clarifying the meaning of neologisms; discussing their value. In the "informational space" of the Internet (homepages, news portals, weblogs), comments explaining the meaning of neologisms and thus helping to decode the text dominate. In the "communicational space" (comments of articles and discussion forums), there are more comments discussing the value of neologisms, i. e. how well a particular neologism is suitable to describe the denoted phenomenon of the Internet. The neologisms describing the Internet phenomena, both new borrowings and equivalent new coinages, are evaluated positively as well as negatively. The criteria that are important for language users when discussing the value of neologisms are as follows: Lithuanian vs. foreign origin, clear motivation, economy, sound, and other. The analysis of metalinguistic comments confirmed the preposition that the community of language users as a whole is able to provide reasoned evaluations of neologisms. It correlates with the results of other studies, showing that the most functional alternatives get established in the usage. As long as a neologism is accompanied by metalinguistic comments of some or another type, it means that the stages of its lexicalisation and socialisation are not yet over. When a neologism is no longer being discussed, an assumption can be made that it has become a proper lexicographically formalised word.
