Abstract

Here we continue our consideration of the nominees in the American Dialect Society’s Word of the Year voting for 2020, covering items in the alphabetic range from maskto Zoom-, along with some of the emoji nominated in the Emoji of the Year category. The full list of nominees was provided in the introduction to the May 2021 installment of ATNW (AS 96, no. 2, https://doi.org/10.1215/00031283-9089600), which covered the first half of the alphabet. Details of the voting and lists of past winners are available at the ADS website (https://www.americandialect.org/2020-word -of-the-year-is-covid). The results for the WOTY votes from 2020 are also included as an online supplement to the May installment at the link above. Continuing the approach to ATNW introduced in the February 2021 installment, each headword is provided with a paragraph-length discursive assessment, with full lexicographical treatments including citational evidence available online as supplemental material to this installment at https://doi .org/10.1215/00031283-9370906. As before, the contributions of the coeditors of ATNW are identified by their initials: Benjamin Zimmer [BZ], Kelly E. Wright [KW], and Charles E. Carson [CC]. In addition, we are grateful for contributions to this installment from Emily Brewster of Merriam-Webster, Inc. (for superspreader), Jessi Grieser of the University of Tennessee Knoxville (for sus), Nicole Holliday of the University of Pennsylvania (for 2020), independent scholar Mark Peters (for petromasculinity), and independent scholar Jane Solomon (for the emoji combination of and ). Finally, we would like to acknowledge the assistance of Kate Whitcomb in the preparation of this article.

期刊介绍： American Speech has been one of the foremost publications in its field since its founding in 1925. The journal is concerned principally with the English language in the Western Hemisphere, although articles dealing with English in other parts of the world, the influence of other languages by or on English, and linguistic theory are also published. The journal is not committed to any particular theoretical framework, and issues often contain contributions that appeal to a readership wider than the linguistic studies community. Regular features include a book review section and a “Miscellany” section devoted to brief essays and notes.
