The Longman Register of New Words: v. 2

This publication systematically records, verifies and interprets new words and new meanings as soon as they appear in written English. Over 1000 new words and meanings which have appeared in the English language presses worldwide mainly in 1989 and 1990 are recorded here. Each is given a separate entry which provides a definition, cites the actual press quotations which verify the occurrence and in many cases includes a discursive essay which interprets the origins of the new words and meanings and explains their emerging usage.
