101 years in 101 words

Tuesday, 19 October, 2004

A study of when new words became common during the past century has had some surprising findings, such as the word "celebs" being used in 1913, the word "sex" meaning sexual intercourse being first used in 1929, and "mobile phone" dating from 1945.

Egghead (1907), wizard (1922), punk (1974), hot-desking (1991), and dumb down (1933) might also strike you as being whizzo (1905).

edgy (W3)

Engl. "edgy" = dt. "kantig", "scharf" (engl. "sharp", "having an edge") sollen seit dem Jahr 1775 nachweisbar sein. (Bei OWAD findet jedoch schon Nachweise um das Jahr 1200.) Weitere Bedeutungen sind dt. "nervös", "unruhig", "scharfkantig", "gereizt" und als Neologismus "außergewöhnlich".

Im Jahr 1775 soll auch "Columbia" als Bezeichnung für die heutigen "United States of America" aufgetaucht sein.

"EDGY" - "Supposedly referring to creative work that is provocative and interesting, the word now has become a signal that someone is trying to 'market' yet another piece of contrivedly offensive hack work. We should limit the word to physical things that have edges, such as an 'edgy coffee table.'" - Ron LaLonde, Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada.

(E?)(L?) https://owad.de/word

...
Etymology: circa 1200. Developed from Old English "ecg" - "corner", "edge", "sword" - and is related to Old Frisian "egg" ("edge"), Old Saxon "eggia" ("point", "edge"), Old High German "ecka", modern German "Ecke", and Old Icelandic "egg" ("corner", "angle", "edge").

Being edgy can be a good thing or a bad thing.
...
"Edgy" can also be used to describe "something new and daring". In this context, it comes from the expression "cutting edge" (also referred to as "leading edge"), a term frequently used by businesses to describe products with the latest technologies. The arts and culture scene is a big fan of "edgy" these days, using it to describe everything from movies, music and art to literature, cuisine and nightclubs.

Flappers (W3)

(E?)(L?) http://history1900s.about.com/library/weekly/aa022201a.htm

A nickname given to young women in the 1920s who defied convention by refusing to use corsets, cutting their hair short, and wearing short skirts, as well as by behavior such as drinking and smoking in public.



...
The term "flapper" first appeared in Great Britain after World War I. It was there used to describe young girls, still somewhat awkward in movement who had not yet entered womanhood. In the June 1922 edition of the Atlantic Monthly, G. Stanley Hall described looking in a dictionary to discover what the evasive term "flapper" meant:

[T]he dictionary set me right by defining the word as a fledgling, yet in the nest, and vainly attempting to fly while its wings have only pinfeathers; and I recognized that the genius of 'slanguage' had made the squab the symbol of budding girlhood.

Hunting for the earliest citations of SF words
Welcome to the new version of the Oxford English Dictionary's science fiction words site. The base project was originally set up so that knowledgeable aficionados could help the OED find useful examples of words in their fields of interest. This first project, and still the only public one, is devoted to science fiction.

While the original version of the site was focused on the OED's needs alone, this version should be of broader interest to anyone interested in science fiction, whether or not they are able to help the OED's research. The most notable change is that a view of an individual term will also pull in all the examples of that term collected for the OED's databases from science fiction sources. We are also making an attempt to rewrite entries to provide clearer definitions, background history, and more. Please stay with us as we continue to improve the site.

About BuzzWords

The BuzzWord may not be a word you'll find in any dictionary, and it's not always a brand-new term either: it may be a new way of using an existing word (e.g. "troll"), or a new way of putting words together (e.g. "drug driving", "chillax"). Whatever the reason for its present popularity, the BuzzWord is a word that is current and in sudden or increasing use - it might not stay around forever, but it's worth knowing what it means and how people are using it today.

About the author

Macmillan Dictionary BuzzWord author Kerry Maxwell has an MA in Linguistics from the University of Manchester. She has worked in academic research and as a lexicographer in the publishing industry.

Kerry lives in York, UK, where she works as a freelance author and editor. Kerry is author of Brave New Words: A Language Lover's Guide to the 21st Century (Pan Macmillan, 2007) and has been writing the Macmillan Dictionary BuzzWord column since 2003.

There are many Internet websites devoted largely or entirely to neologisms. Some are impressive projects with careful management, but alas, many seem thrown together with questionable content and little or no updating. This guide sorts the good from the not so good.

The links below are believed to be exhaustive of all quality websites dealing with English neologisms as a significant focus. They are listed alphabetically, each rated from 1 to 5 in descending order of value to the neologist. A “5” is the pinnacle of the array, while a “1” barely merits a mouse click. Keep in mind that many wannabe sites were tossed into the “0” rating pool and drowned (they don’t appear here).

What is a neologism?


A "neologism" is a newly invented word or term. "Neologisms" would seem to occur at a greater rate in cultures with rapidly changing technologies and with greater means for information dispersal.

A "neology" is, according to our Webster's, the use of a new word or the use of an existing word but given a new meaning. A second meaning given by Webster's for "neologism" is that of "a meaningless word coined by a psychotic."

runcible spoon

It's the 200th anniversary of the birth of Edward Lear, English writer, poet, and illustrator. Honoring this occasion, we salute "runcible spoon", a term that he coined in his children's story "The Owl and the Pussycat": They dined on mince, and slices of quince / Which they ate with a "runcible spoon"; / And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, / They danced by the light of the moon.


(E?)(L?) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runcible

"Runcible" is a nonsense word invented by Edward Lear. The word appears (as an adjective) several times in his works, most famously as the "runcible spoon" used by the Owl and the Pussycat. The word "runcible" was apparently one of Lear's favourite inventions, appearing in several of his works in reference to a number of different objects. In his verse self-portrait, The Self-Portrait of the Laureate of Nonsense, it is noted that "he weareth a runcible hat". Other poems include mention of a "runcible cat", a "runcible goose" (in the sense of "silly person"), a "runcible wall", and "the Rural Runcible Raven".
...


(E?)(L?) http://www.word-detective.com/2009/11/runcible-spoon/

...
"Runcible spoon" is today usually employed as another name for a "spork" ("spoon" and "fork"), but that application is, as we shall shortly see, unwarranted.

The term "runcible spoon" was invented by the English writer Edward Lear, whose “nonsense poems” have entertained children and adults since the late 1800s. Lear’s “The Owl & The Pussy-Cat”, written in 1871, contains the first mention of "runcible" in the verse “They dined upon mince and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon, And hand in hand on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon….”

Lear used the word "runcible" in several other works, in which he mentioned a "runcible raven", a "runcible cat" and a "runcible wall". Unfortunately, Lear never explained what "runcible" meant or where he’d found it. One theory is that "runcible" is derived from the archaic term "rouncival", meaning "large". It’s also entirely possible Lear simply made up the word.

Interestingly, in another of Lear’s works, “Twenty-Six Nonsense Rhymes and Pictures”, he offers a drawing of “the Dolomphious Duck” catching “Spotted Frogs for her dinner with a Runcible Spoon”. The spoon in the drawing is simply a large, long-handled and deep spoon (resembling a ladle, in fact), definitely not a serrated "spork". So Lear invented the term "runcible spoon", but apparently never intended it to mean "spork".

Science Fiction (W3)

(E?)(L?) http://www.epilog.de/Lexikon/S/Science_Fiction.htm


(E?)(L?) http://www.jessesword.com/SF/sf_citations.shtml


(E?)(L?) http://www.jessesword.com/SF/sf_fan.shtml

Der Begriff »Science Fiction« ist seit den 30er Jahren in allgemeinerem Gebrauch; ein frühe Nennung findet sich in Hugo Gernsbacks Leitartikel zur 1. Ausgabe von Science Wonder Stories (Juni 1929). Einige Autoren (Edgar Fawcett; Edgar Allan Poe; William Wilson) haben jedoch schon früher versucht, mit der SF vergleichbare Arten literarischer Produktion zu definieren, und andere frühe spekulative Autoren haben ihre eigenen Manifeste verfaßt. Erst seit der Gründung der spezialisierten SF-Pulp-Magazine in den USA läßt sich ein gewisses Maß an Übereinstimmung feststellen.
Die Kategorie, auf die sich Gernsback mit Scientifiction bezieht, wird von ihm im Leitartikel zur 1. Ausgabe von Amazing Stories (April 1926) folgendermaßen beschrieben: »Mit 'scientifiction' meine ich Erzählungen im Stil von Jules Verne, H. G. Wells und Edgar Allan Poe - eine reizvolle Phantasieerzählung mit wissenschaftlichen Tatsachen und prophetischem Weitblick vermischt ... Diese erstaunlichen Geschichten lesen sich nicht nur ungeheuer interessant, sie sind auch stets aufschlußreich. Sie vermitteln Wissen ... in einer sehr ansprechenden Form ... Neue Abenteuer, die uns die heutige Scientifiction schildert, werden morgen schon nicht mehr unmöglich sein ... Viele großartige wissenschaftliche Erzählungen, die einmal von historischem Interesse sein werden, müssen erst noch geschrieben werden ... Die Nachwelt wird auf sie verweisen, denn sie haben einen neuen Weg markiert, nicht nur für die Literatur, sondern auch für den Fortschritt.«
...


Das OED (Oxford English Dictionary) hat sich ebenfalls des Themas angenommen und sammelt entsprechende Ausdrücke.

In der Zeitschrifte "TIME" erschien in der Ausgabe "September 8-15, 2014" in der Rubrik "The Answers Issue / Language" ein Artikel "When Did Everything Become ‘Epic’?". Auf der Seite ist eine Zeitspirale abgebildet mit Worten die zu einer bestimmten Zeit aufkamen um auszudrücken, dass man etwas als engl. "excellent" einschätzte. Die entsprechenden Begriffe stellten zum Zeitpunkt ihres ersten Auftretens Neologismen dar - zumindest mit der Bedeutung "excellent".

The following neologisms and novel uses of words in English were collected by members of the class Linguistics/English 215, Words in English: Structure, History and Use, taught by Suzanne Kemmer at Rice University 1996-99. Over the course of the semester, students collected instances of words and word uses that appear to be new in the language. They defined the words, described their origin where possible, illustrated their use, and analyzed the words in terms of their structure and the types of word formation processes they exemplify.

The list below includes many different structural word formation types, including novel derivations, clippings, back formations, and compounding processes of various sorts. The words also exemplify a wide range of semantic/pragmatic phenomena such as metaphor, metonymy, "euphemism", and eponymy.

The words on this page give a good picture of the creative aspects of word formation and use in present day English. Speakers do not confine themselves to existing, conventional units when using language; to express their exact meaning in a given context, they take advantage of the wide range of creative resources provided by their language. Many of these creations become more frequent and conventionalized over time. Looking at new words allows us to get a glimpse of lexical change in progress.

A Million Words And Counting
How Global English Is Rewriting The World

(E?)(L?) http://de.scribd.com/book/171529814/A-Million-Words-And-Counting-How-Global-English-Is-Rewriting-The-World

About the book

In 2007, the English language passed the million-word mark. That shouldn't come as a surprise since over a billion Earthlings speak English (no one knows about other planets, but they probably speak it, too). That makes for a lot of word-coiners (neologists) out there. And where are all these new words coming from? Hollywood? Technology? The Internet? Corporate boardrooms? Youthspeak? How do world events--from tsunamis and hurricanes to political doublespeak and presidential linguistic bumbling--influence the words we use on a daily basis? What do e-mails, text messages, and emoticons contribute to the language?

Let WordMan Paul J.J. Payack take you on a global tour of English-speaking worlds - virtual and otherwise: A Million Words? Fundoo!

Podcast, Chinglish, truthiness, crunk. Just a year or two ago, these words were gibberish to most English speakers. Today they pop up in everyday conversation worldwide, just four of the ten thousand new words added to the English language every year. Spurred by the universality of the Internet - where it is the de facto lingua franca - and the global reach of its media, English is growing at a rate unprecedented in its 1500-year history. Indeed, in the spring of 2007, the English word count surpassed a million - over ten times the number available in French.

At the crest of this linguistic tsunami surfs Paul J.J. Payack, aka the WordMan. As president of the Global Language Monitor, he has tracked the latest developments - the fascinating hybrids, the bizarre etymologies, the lasting malapropisms - in the language shared by two billion of the Earth's citizens. Aided by a worldwide network of similarly obsessed "language mavens" and armed with his own powerful word-counting algorithm, Payack ensures that no new English word falls from the tongue or marks the page without being counted toward the Million Word March.

A Million Words and Counting is a celebration of the vast variety and ever-evolving expressiveness of humanity's most universal language. Fun and informative, this guide is a joyful exploration of English as it spreads across the globe, as it is spoken today, and as it expands into the future. Each entertaining chapter of this ambitious linguistic survey examines another source of new English, including Hollywood, youth culture, other languages, corporate boardrooms, and tongue-tied presidents. An engaging compendium of English-language facts and factoids, this is a trivia lover's goldmine and a logophile's playground.

PONS Kompaktwörterbuch Englisch - Ausgabe 2007/08

Gebundene Ausgabe: 1800 Seiten
Verlag: Ernst Klett Sachbuch Verlag; Auflage: Neubearb. (24. September 2007)
Sprache: Englisch, Deutsch


Kennen Sie das? In der Schule in Englisch immer zu den Besseren gehört und trotzdem das Gefühl nicht losgeworden, dass man für ganz banale Alltagsgespräche schlecht gerüstet ist? Das war auch die Schuld der Wörterbücher, die uns noch die abstrusesten Vokabeln wie "Hülsenauszieher" oder "Kehlader" übersetzten, aber mit grundlegenden Floskeln und Wendungen für stotterfreie Plaudereien geizten.

Allein dafür, dass sie heutigen Englisch-Lernern hier systematisch Formulierungshilfen an die Hand geben, gebührt den Herausgebern des neuen PONS Kompaktwörterbuchs ein großes Lob. Von A wie "Abneigung ausdrücken" oder "Anbieten" bis Z wie "Zögern", "Zuständigkeit ausdrücken" oder "Zustimmen" gibt es Infoboxen, mit denen man seine kommunikative Kompetenz gezielt trainieren kann. Auch der Wortschatz präsentiert sich auf dem neuesten Stand: Sollte man bei "ageism" einen "spin doctor" konsultieren? Und welches sind eigentlich die "Einstiegsdrogen" für "Leistungsträger"?

Für die, die zunächst ihre Grammatik auffrischen müssen, gibt es in aller Kürze das Wichtigste zu Zeitformen, Pluralbildung und Pronomen. Wer das nicht nötig hat, kann sich in die feinen Unterschiede zwischen amerikanischem und britischem Englisch einarbeiten: Während der Londoner von "sleeping partner" spricht, sagt die New Yorkerin "silent partner" - gemeint ist jeweils der stille Teilhaber. Und bloß weil beide von "résumé", "boot", "panhandle" oder "pissed" sprechen, meinen sie noch lange nicht dasselbe.

So dürfte dieses Nachschlagewerk bei Wiedereinsteigern und Fortgeschrittenen, zum Beispiel Oberstufenschülern, kaum Fragen offen lassen, wobei auch Teilbände Deutsch-Englisch und Englisch-Deutsch erhältlich sind. Wer hingegen beruflich oder im Studium mit Englisch zu tun hat, sollte bei 120.000 Stichwörtern und einer begrenzten Anzahl von Anwendungsbeispielen -- das Verb "do" nimmt gerade mal anderthalb Spalten in Anspruch - besser gleich zu einer noch größeren Ausgabe greifen. Für alle Fälle eben.
