Respuesta :

Answer:

The chart entry to describe the client's statement is "The client is expressing a neologism"

Explanation:

Neologism is the act of creating and a using a new word by a person who alone knows the meaning of the new word.  It is sometimes a joining of two existing words or a shortening or misrepresentation of an existing word.  Neologism words are also in the process of common use but not yet accepted into the mainstream language.  An example is webinar, which is the joining of "web" and "seminar".
