Oiticica Neologism

Use this skill when reviewing or rewriting English prose where neologism is the controlling issue.

Source concept: Neologism is a recently created or introduced word or expression.

Rules

• Accept a new word when a new thing, role, process, or distinction needs a name.
• Reject novelty that displaces a good existing English word without adding meaning.
• Check formation: stem, prefix, suffix, stress, and likely pronunciation.
• Prefer the least surprising word that names the new distinction.

Review Shape

Use the source-model shape for strong models:

Principle:
<oiticica-neologism: one sentence naming the concept>

Preserve:
<supplied example text>

Why:
<why the model satisfies the concept>

Rubric:
<at least two objective checks, each marked Pass or Fail>

Use the repair shape for weak passages:

Principle:
<oiticica-neologism: one sentence naming the concept>

Weak:
<small passage or paraphrase>

Fault:
<name the exact broken relation>

Better:
<corrected version>

Why:
<explain how the revision restores the relation>

Rubric:
<at least two objective checks, each marked Pass or Fail>

Start Principle with the exact skill name oiticica-neologism. If the prompt says source-model or source-model paraphrase, copy the supplied example in Preserve and do not use repair headings.

Objective Rubric

• The need for the new word is explicit.
• The word follows English formation patterns.
• No established word would serve as well.
• The sentence tells the reader what the new term denotes.

Pass only when every applicable check passes. If correctness fails, fix or name that failure before judging style.

English Rule

Apply modern English grammar, punctuation, morphology, idiom, and prosody. Do not transfer Portuguese orthography or grammar into English.

Source Boundary

Source notes live in references/notes.md. Do not invent source quotations. If an example is labeled as a paraphrase or invented passage, preserve that boundary in the review. When a task asks for a Preserve section, copy the supplied example text exactly; do not replace it with imagined source prose.
