2016 The year that shaped Oxford Dictionary

The year that shaped Oxford Dictionary
US election and EU referendum and problems of terrorism have shaped the social psychology, means of media and marketing trends. The complete global political scenario went under a sea change.
When we say language it is the reflection of your life. I remember the once Sir David Cristal has said, Text messaging is just the most recent focus of people’s anxiety; what people are really worried about is a new generation gaining control of what they see as their language.
Sir David Cristal said it in a discussion in Oxford University, it is worth noting how the Oxford dictionary people have took it seriously. The post articles of US election and EU referendum as BREXIT made readers think about the need of a new word. 'Post-truth' the new word coined in journalism and media and used it repeatedly. It became the word of the year by Oxford Dictionaries.
US President Donald Trump increasingly used the word ‘post-truth’ as it attributed for his presidential nomination

It is an adjective - circumstances in which facts are less influential for building public opinion than it appeals to emotion or personal belief.
