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.
