与政治词汇一样,人们关于饮食、健康和性别的交谈也对这次的词汇更新造成了很大的影响。"Superfruit" Social media were the source for many of the new coinages, though most were the kind of compounds that would have language purists clutching their pearls. "Craptacular" (remarkably poor and disappointing), "bronde" (hair dyed both blond and brunette) and "fitspiration" (a person or thing that serves as motivation for someone to sustain or improve health and fitness) all made the cut.
社交媒体是许多新鲜词汇的 Stevenson said the need for brevity on Twitter was not responsible for rising numbers of compound words, but it had widened the pool of those inventing new terms. "People feel much freer to coin their own words these days," he said, advising anyone who wished to make a permanent dent in the English language to make sure that their word sounded attractive. Citing the word "vlog", he said ugly-sounding words tended not to gain very wide currency. He added: "They have to have a euphonious sound."
史蒂文森说,推特对词汇简洁性的要求并不是复合词数量的增加的原因,但这的确为创造新词汇的人们拓宽了道路。"如今,人们可以更自由地创造词语,"他说,他建议那些想要在英语词汇上留下永久印记的人们务必要确保他们所创造的新词发音好听。他引用"vlog"这个词,然后说发音很难听的词一般都不会被大家广泛使用。他补充说:"这些词语得有一个悦耳的读音。"
