PROGRAMME 1: alcopops

Profesor David Crystal: One of the big questions always asked about a language: “how do new words come into being?” Well, you can borrow them from other languages of course; a lot of English words are like that. But one of the lesser-known ways of forming new words is to form a blend – and a blend i...

PROGRAMME 2: alcopops, brunch

There are lots of words like this in English. Brunch is another one – for a mixture of breakfast and lunch, and you can actually have quite a fun game making these blends up yourself. For instance, if you decide that you want to invent a cross between a helicopter and a bicycle shall we say? Well, m...

PROGRAMME 3: dis

Prefixes, almost by definition, don't occur as separate words. I mean, that's what they're for: they're for modifying a word, occurring before a word, and making it change it’s meaning - happy, un-happy, national, de-nationalise. They don't normally occur as words on their own. You've perhaps heard...

PROGRAMME 4: docusoap

I was watching a docusoap on the television the other day. A what, you might say? A docu-soap. Well, it’s another one of these blend-words, where two words have come together to make a third word. In this particular case, I’m talking about a TV genre, which mixes a documentary programme and a soap....

PROGRAMME 5: docusoap, docudrama, factions

And so a docusoap is a documentary attempt to take one of these programmes and put it into an everyday circumstance. It’s not the only word of its kind – docudrama is another one, for a dramatised film based on a semi-fictional interpretation of real events. Oh, and don’t forget, it’s used in the no...

PROGRAMME 6: e

In a vote, in 1998, the American Dialect Society looked for 'the new word that was most likely to succeed'. And they had an accolade "the word of the year". In that particular year, it wasn't a word at all, it was...e-! E -hyphen, the prefix, meaning electronic of course, and you'll find it in e-mai...

PROGRAMME 7: mwah

You've seen it on television, or in the street, hundreds of times, thousands of times. Two people come towards each other, they obviously know each other very well, and they start to kiss each other - but it's not a full frontal kiss. Now what happens, one person puts the cheek against the other per...

PROGRAMME 8: faqs

Now, nobody knows how many abbreviations there are in the English language, or in any language for that matter – half a million in one big set of dictionaries I’ve got: half a million abbreviations, can you imagine it! They’re very important, abbreviations, because they save time and they add famili...

11.08.2019

PROGRAMME 9: The full Monty!

Now that’s a catch phrase from a film – the film title this time. I mean, people often don’t take film titles and make them catch phrases. M-o-n-t-y, a name (capital 'M'). Now it had existed before as a phrase – but this was a new film, in 1997, a British film about a group of unemployed men, who ta...

PROGRAMME 10: spam

Technology always has an influence on language. When printing came in, it brought new words into the language. When broadcasting first started new words came into the language. And now the internet has come along so it’s not surprising that quite a large number of new words have come into English vo...

09.08.2019

Programme 11: text

Profesor David Crystal: 'Text' is one of these new words that have come into English as a result of the internet revolution and especially, this time, as a result of the cell phone revolution. Cell phones didn't exist well, 5, 10 years ago, they didn't exist and as soon as they came along, people st...

Programme 12: gm

In the mid-1990s there was a big, new controversy that came in, wasn’t there, about genetically modified foods: foodstuffs containing genetically altered plant or animal material. It wasn’t long before an abbreviation came along to summarise all these: genetically modified – G.M. or "genetic modific...

07.08.2019

Programme 13: happy clappy

Happy clappy – this is one of those reduplicated words, where the two words are almost the same, but it’s changed one little part: changed the vowel, or changed the consonants in this particular case - usually the consonant at the front, like "willy nilly" - and "ping pong" is one where the vowel ch...
04:13
  
06.08.2019

Programme 14: hot desking

Hot desking. You know, there are some very descriptive words that come into the language from time to time, and one of the ones that came in the 1990s, which really hit me between the eyes when I first heard it, was this phrase "hot desking". To begin with, I didn’t really know what it meant, and af...

Programme 15: make my day

Of all the mediums that influence language, I think film is the one that has the most effect. Not so much from the point of view of pronunciation and grammar: I don’t think we pick up very many sounds and grammatical instructions from the films that we see – but the catchphrases, right from the earl...

04.08.2019

Programme 16: pre-nup

Pre-nup. We often abbreviate words by dropping the endings. There's a technical term for it in linguistics - they're called clippings. I suppose the word 'ad' is the most familiar, from advertisement. 'Pram' is another, from perambulator, and nobody uses that these days, really. And now, we've got '...

03.08.2019

Programme 17: luvvy

Have you noticed how common the 'y' ('ie')-ending is in English as a sort of colloquial suffix? A familiarity marker perhaps is a better way of talking about it. You talk about the telly – it’s a television. You talk about your auntie – instead of your aunt. Of course, there’s mummy and daddy as wel...

02.08.2019

Programme 18: bog standard

Bog standard. It’s pretty rare in English to find a compound word with a slang first part and a formal second part. Bog standard is one of those that’s come in in the last few years. It means…what does it mean? It means to be basic, to be ordinary, to be unexceptional, to be uninspired – it just mea...

01.08.2019

Programme 19: estuary

Estuary. Words based on locations don’t become part of the general language very often. You do get a few – many people talk about “Whitehall” meaning the government, or the "White House" in America, meaning the American government – but not very often, and certainly part of a river (!) – 'estuary',...
04:51
  
31.07.2019

Programme 20: wired

Wired, to be wired. Well, if you’re talking about electricity that’s not surprising I suppose: wires enjoin electrical things – but people being wired? If I say to you "are you wired?", or you say to me, "yes, you’re wired"…? It’s another one of those descriptive words that came in in the 1990s, bas...
04:37
  
30.07.2019

Programme 21: hole-in-the-wall

Profesor David Crystal: Hole-in-the-wall is one of those phrases where you get a lot of words hyphenated, if you write it down: hole-in-the-wall, being used as a single word, as a noun. “I’m going to the hole-in-the-wall” you might say or “I’m getting some money out of the hole-in-the-wall”. Well yo...

28.07.2019

Programme 23: euro

Euro. No named part of the world has introduced more new words into English than Europe. It’s all happened of course in the last 10 or 20 years, and it’s this 'euro' prefix that’s caused all the attention to be focussed on the area of Europe. The euro of course is the most obvious thing: the actual...

27.07.2019

Programme 24: toyboy

Toy boy. There’s a class of very unusual words in English, they’re called "reduplications" or "reduplicated forms": "bow wow, says the dog". Well, you can hear the reduplication – the two words are almost the same, it’s just the first part that changes. "Helter skelter"… Words like this are reduplic...
06:01
  
26.07.2019

Programme 25: saddo

Saddo. There are quite a few familiarity markers in English – words which take on an ending to make the word sound much more familiar, or everyday, or down to earth. Ammunition becomes 'ammo'; a weird person becomes 'weirdo' aggravation becomes 'aggro'. They like it in Australia a lot – "good aftern...
