Abstract

This paper aims to confirm the dynamic characteristic of the lexicon, which

contents expand constantly and indefinitely and, also that the media, besides being a large

adviser of neologisms, explores the fact that the lexicon is open. For this, it is intended,

through a set of neologisms collected in the press covering the Brazilian political context, to

show how the Brazilian press uses the possibility of expanding the lexicon, and how the press

explores the inaccurate limits of the lexicon to give greater expression to its texts, producing,

not rare, effects of a sense of irony and / or humor.
