Every three months, the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) publishes updates to its online dictionary. ‘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, like gastropub (gastronomy * pub) or emoticon (emotion + icon).. Sometimes we put two words together in a new way, for example road rage or toy boy. 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), but itis 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 a 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, like barista or latte (imported from italian when coffee bars became teally popular in the UK 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: Wii, ringtone, and smartphone are some recent examples. The invention of new words is not a new phenomenon. ‘The word brunch (breakfast + lunch frst appeared in 1896, newspaper (news * paper) in 1667, and Engl speakers started to use the word café (Irom French) in the late 19th century. The difference now is how quickly new words and expressions enter the language and how quickly we start to use and understand them.
