A Wug-Style Acceptability Study of Invented -some Coinages for Transdermal Vesicles
A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities has 48 pharmaceutics students and 48 lay speakers rate 48 nonsense names for skin-delivery vesicles, and finds that a linking -o- lifts a coinage for both groups while only the students mark down an English-sounding base. Asked what each name refers to, lay speakers read its base as the cargo and students as a constituent of the vesicle.
