Emily Brewster is a lexicographer at Merriam-Webster and a cohost of the Word Matters podcast.
In this interview, we talked about
- How Merriam-Webster chose "pandemic" as the word of the year.
- How other dictionaries choose words of the year (and how Oxford didn't choose a word this year).
- How the American Dialect Society chooses its words of the year (with fun stories since Emily and Mignon both attended the vote).
- Words of the year in countries outside the U.S., such as "Megxit" and "anderhalvemetersamenleving."
