摘要

摘要:词典出版商发布的年度词汇旨在吸引公众的注意力和时代精神。对于《剑桥词典》,年度词汇的评选是根据Dictionary.Cambridge.org上的查询数据确定的;2020年,这些数据讲述了新冠肺炎大流行的故事。在所有与疫情相关的术语中,隔离在总体查找以及搜索峰值的数量和大小方面都排名最高,这使它成为年度词汇的明确选择。这项支持年度词汇评选的研究帮助剑桥大学确定了隔离和封锁的紧急含义和用法变化,从而及时更新了这些条目。

Identifying Emergent Meanings via the Word of the Year Process: A Case Study
ABSTRACT:Dictionary publishers’ Word of the Year announcements attempt to capture the public’s attention as well as the zeitgeist. For the Cambridge Dictionary, the Word of the Year selection is informed by lookup data on dictionary.cambridge.org; in 2020 that data told the story of the COVID-19 pandemic. Of all the pandemic-related terms, quarantine ranked highest both in overall lookups and in the number and size of search spikes, making it the clear choice for Word of the Year. The research in support of the Word of the Year selection helped Cambridge to identify emergent meanings and changes in usage for quarantine and lockdown , leading to timely updates of those entries.
