Cimkék: learning English, practice, research, self study, vocabulary expansion

Earlier this week we posted part 1 of our traditional mini-series, Word Of The Year. The winner was “climate emergency” in 2019 and “pandemic” in 2020. By the end of 2021, according to academics, it was quite obvious which word would be crowned Word Of The Year...

VAX

As every year, in part 2 of this post we are digging deep:
We looked into the detailed annual report that was published on Word of the Year.
The downloadable report contains diagrams, statistics and analyses on how certain economic, political, social, technological changes have affected our vocabulary.
There is also a one-hour webinar: “Behind the Scenes of Word of the Year 2021” with downloadable slides.
