This assignment is designed to encourage the writer to consider how language gap
This assignment is designed to encourage the writer to consider how language gaps form in the English language to create the need for the creation of new words to express concepts (neologisms). In a two-page, double-spaced, APA 7th edition formatted essay, make an argument for placing this word in a standard dictionary, like the Oxford English Dictionary. What language gaps does it fill for the English language in a professional, academic, or social setting? What emotions and/or ideas related to something in your professional, social, or academic life can the word help convey?
Pick just one area of life to write about – professional life or academic life or social life. My word fills this language gap in a professional sense for this reason and this reason. Would your word be used in a particular professional industry? My word fills this language gap within this industry (nursing) for this reason and this reason.
If you do not have such a word, pretend you are the editor of a dictionary and want to argue to the editing committee that a fairly new slang word should be legitimized and placed in the dictionary. What emotions and/or ideas related to something in the professional, social, or academic world can the word help convey?
