基本説明

Using the resources of the world's largest language research programme at Oxford University Press, it presents an up-to-the-minute snapshot of English language today.

Full Description

Know your kamikini from your kitten heel? Prefer your bling-bling to your biscuit? Listen to electroclash or foxcore? Live with a bleeding-edge screenager or a silver surfer suffering from wapathy? Or are you :-Q? Infinitely browsable and completely up to date, The Language Report is a collection of topical and fascinating facts and observations on today's spoken and written English. Using the resources of the world's largest language research programme at Oxford University Press, it presents an up-to-the-minute snapshot of English language today: tracking the latest new words to have entered its usage; investigating old words revived by current events in, for example, the worlds of politics and pop; and examining the most recent trends of language development. This intriguing survey covers language issues reported by the media in recent times, including memorable quotes and sayings of the year; nicknames in the news; new venues for language, such as the Internet chatroom; and controversial developments in usage and grammar.
It also analyses English around the world, finding out the latest words and phrases to enter the US or Australian English vocabulary for example; and looks at what the new words were 100 years ago, and how they've developed or disappeared.
