Every year, many language-related organisations release their 'Word of the Year' selections. These choices generally reflect trends or shared cultural experiences that have defined the year. Surprise, surprise - many 2021 Word of the Year nominees were linked to the pandemic!
Below is a selection of the 2021 Words of the Year announced thus far:
Organisation | Word of the Year | Articles |
Australian National University | Strollout | |
Oxford English Dictionary | Vax | |
Cambridge Dictionary | Perseverance | |
Macquarie Dictionary | Strollout |
