1. Word formation processes in Game of Thrones

2. A short introduction….
Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss for HBO. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin's series of fantasy novels, the first of which is A Game of Thrones. 

3. Neologisms in “Songs of Ice and Fire”
According to the Oxford English Dictionary (2003: 1179), a neologism is “a newly coined word or expression that may be in the process of entering common use, but has not yet been accepted into mainstream language”.
Neologisms can apply both a new meaning and a new form or just one of those elements.

4. Neologisms
Lexical -newly formed words(affixation) or borrowings from other languages
Semantic- acquisition of a new meaning by an existing word
All neologisms can be divided into semantic and lexical ones, de-
pending on the process which occurs (usually word-formation devices
such as affixation and compounding).
Neologisms in Songs of Ice and Fire have lexical character!

5. Most of them are toponyms or proper names, and only few refer to objects or animals. One of the animals which is important for the plot is the DIREWOLF.
Martin created its name on the basis of the phrase ‘dire wolf’ (which means a large extinct wolf of the Pleistocene epoch). The adjective dire itself means ‘serious’ or ‘urgent’.
Knowing that, the reader should create a picture of a direwolf as a very big wolf.
