Linguistics

Inventing a brand-new word

In linguistics, to coin a word is to create a brand-new lexical item, and a coinage is such a newly invented word, often formed from scratch or from existing elements. Laurie Bauer's English Word-Formation treats coinage among the processes by which a language's lexicon grows. The referent is the invention and entry of a new word into a language (a process and its product in morphology), tied to the money meaning only through the metaphor of stamping something into existence.[1]

Unit
A newly invented word, or the act of inventing one
Recovery means

Measured by
Studied by tracking neologisms, their formation patterns, and their adoption into usage

Security studies

Doctrine to defeat an insurgency

In military and security studies, COIN is the standard abbreviation for counterinsurgency: the combined military, political, economic, and civic actions a government takes to defeat an insurgency and win over a population. The U.S. Army/Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual (FM 3-24) codified the population-centric doctrine that made the term current. The referent is a doctrine and body of practice for contesting insurgencies, an acronym unrelated to coined money or coined words beyond the shared spelling.[2]

Unit
A doctrine of combined actions to defeat an insurgency
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Assessed by security, governance, and population-support indicators in a contested area
