Virtual words : language on the edge of science and technology

Keats, Jonathon

نظرة عامة

In 45 short essays, Keats examines how words get coined, what relationship they have to their subject matter, and why some, like blog, succeed while others, like flog, fail. Divided into broad categories--such as euphemism, polemic, jargon, and slang, in addition to scientific and technological neologisms--chapters each consider one exemplary word, its definition, origin, context, and significance.
