| Publisher Description: In 2012, linguist Edwin Battistella made up and Tweeted a word a day. A YEAR OF NEW WORDS tells the story of those words--the blends, clippings, prefixes, suffixes, malapropisms and more that formed the basis for 366 made-up words. What do the words look like? You'll find exitstentialist, dawndle, textumble, and virony. There's flabricate, outst, vomotion, anarcissist, snattered, vigilantry, humorality, and peasle. And fregenyms, improvision, febrfy, soarical, snubbub, flossolalia, nosticate, kimpy, cashugenah, soloria, testosterantics, hypirically, leapwork, jabbercize, and more. A YEAR OF NEW WORDS is an entertaining story of words with some serious linguistics underneath. |
