infix-neologisms

Hypothesis

We hypothesize that new words can be formed from existing words by splitting them open and sticking a word inside.

Apparatus

  • Python 2.7.6 (probably works with older versions too)
  • A set of input words

Method

  • Pick an input word.
  • Split it into two parts. Pick another input word and insert it in the middle.
  • Possibly repeat step #2.
  • Output the word and repeat from step #1.

Observations

Running it on ../generic-corpora/containers.txt which I just threw together after a few internet searches, you might get
