Nounoferta

Nounoferta is a coined term that appears in some discussions of linguistics and marketing to describe a noun element that signals an offer within promotional text or negotiation dialogue. The word combines 'noun' with the Spanish 'oferta,' meaning offer, and is used to discuss the semantic role of nouns that function to prompt an action or indicate a deal rather than to denote a concrete item.

It is not a standard or widely recognized term in major dictionaries. Its use is limited to niche contexts, such as data annotation, corpus linguistics, or early-stage discussions about how to label semantic functions in advertising language. When used, nounoferta typically denotes a noun that contributes to the propositional meaning of an offer rather than describing a physical item.

In practice, tagging a noun as nounoferta can help researchers distinguish offer-related nouns from ordinary object nouns in corpora. Examples might include nouns such as 'descuento' (discount) or 'promoción' (promotion) in a sentence where the focus is the offer rather than the product.

Because nounoferta is a neologism with variable usage, its definition and scope can differ between studies. Users should provide clear definitions when applying the term in analysis or documentation.
