One recent update contained 900 new words, new expressions, or new meanings for existing words. But where do they all come from? New words are created in many different ways. We can make a new word by combining two words, ike gastropub (gastronomy + pub) or emoticon (emotion * icon). Sometimes we put two words together in a new way, for example, road rage or boy toy. ‘We also find that nouns can change into verbs. Take the word text. Text was always a noun (from about 1369, according to the OED), butitis now very common as a verb, to text somebody. Other new words already existed, but with a different meaning, For example, tweet was the noise that a bird makes, but now we use it more often (as 2 verb or a noun) for a message that people put on the social networking site Twitter. ‘Another way in which we make new words is by adopting” words from foreign languages, ike barista or latte (imported from Italian when coffee shops became really popularin the US in the 1990s). Alot of new words come from the names of brands or ‘companies, for example, we play music on an iPod and we ‘google information. We also need more general words to describe new technology or new gadgets: WIFI, ringtone, and smartphone are some recent examples The invention of new words is nota new phenomenon. The word brunch (breakfast + lunch) first appeared in 1896, newspaper (news + paper) in 1667, and English speakers started to use the word cafe (rom Frenchy in the late 19th century. The difference now is how quickly ‘new words and expressions enter the language and how 4quickly we start to use and understand them.Restaurant problems (84 IN THE NEW YORK OFFICE VOCABULARY restaurants Take the restaurant quiz with a partner. “What do you call..? 1 the book or list that tells you what food thereis he price of the meal you are happy with your meal or with the service ‘hat do you say..? 1 ifyouwant a table people 2. when the waiter asks you what you want 3 when yau are ready to pay @4 AT THE RESTAURANT 8 '9)) Cover the dialogue and watch or listen.
