I have a new link for, quite an interesting blog from a fairly well-known UK linguist:

www.linguism.co.uk

How about adding our site, seeing as you've mentioned us before and we already link to you (but hey, no pressure or anything):

And meant to say, love the idea of housing an extended blog roll on a separate blog like this - it works really well. Might adopt the same policy...

Hi! Thank you so much for your interesting blog separatedbycommonlg, it is very useful!

I'm a Russian student at the English faculty and I'm really interested in everything that you write.

Now I'm searching for informarion about neologisms in advertising, but I'm not very successful at that. May be I search wrongly? What should I write in google in order to find what I want?
I tried to write neologisms in advertising and new words in advertising. May be there are other words for the same matter?
