В этом увлекательном коротком выступлении лексикограф Эрин Маккин побуждает — нет, даже вовсю призывает — аудиторию придумывать новые слова, когда существующие не совсем подходят. Она перечисляет 6 способов создания новых слов в английском, от словосложения до «оглаголивания», чтобы язык лучше передавал то, что мы хотим сказать, и чтобы иметь больше способов понимать друг друга.
