| New words enter the English language all the time. In fact English has always been in the state of evolution. In recents years, more and more words and phrases have entered the language. It's partly due to the increased willingness of editists to include them in the dictionaries. But where do all these words come from? Words come out of the culture they represent and describe. So if you've got a new development in medicine, for example, bird flu, then you'll get the new word coming out of that. If there's a military conflict, that may well bring all sorts of new words to the fore. Going back in time the First and Second World Wars were times of great creativity of language because people from different countries met each other and exchanged their words and words developed from there. So really words come from the playground, politics and any area of life. Because every area of life is changing from day to day. |
