This new edition of The Language Report covers all aspects of contemporary English as an evolving and mutating language. Slang, text, music, politics, idioms, and the media all contribute to changing the English we speak. This volume aims to chronicle this shapeshifting language over through its recent history, and with a special emphasis on 2004. A collection of some of the most intriguing facts and observations on spoken and written English today, this volume makes for excellent browsing. The fascinating development of euphemisms is covered, from sacking to halving the footprint, by way of making redundant and downsizing. New words are an essential part of this book, from the brand new 'intextication' to 'sexiles' and 'gangmasters'. Larpers and Shroomers examines the newest words in the language, and looks at the influence of current events, politics, and the media on everyday vocabulary, explains trends in grammar, and includes memorables quotes of the year.
