But your definition of new year is sum of parts. You can create exactly the same "phrase" with new + arbitrary temporal designation, like "new month", "new millennium" etc. I'll put {{rfd}} and we'll see what the more knowledgeable dudes say. --Ivan Štambuk 00:02, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
What do you mean by arbitrary temporal designation? 219.94.38.41 16:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Like "new day", "new month".. "new era", "new age".. It's pointless. Add a new sense to (deprecated template usage) new instead. --Ivan Štambuk 19:19, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Again I still do not fully get what you are trying to explicate. What I really mean is that how do you define your term of "arbitrary temporal designation", not by just or merely giving some examples. Please answer directly to my question. Savvy? 219.94.38.41 05:20, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- When applied to abstract nouns designating time periods (day, month, year..age, era, start, beginning) the primary meaning of (deprecated template usage) new is normal to shift to 'next', still retaining the original denotative senses such as "created recently" and connotative such as "in prime, undamaged shape". But since time flow is unidirectional and irreversible, (deprecated template usage) next and "opportune for new start" are all that's left.
- If and when somebody provides enough citations for this sense of (deprecated template usage) new with several unrelated time period designations, (deprecated template usage) new year as similar NPs will necessarily become SoPs. --Ivan Štambuk 15:02, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
