«A Million Words and Counting» is the essay on global English by Paul J.J. Payack, published by Citadel Press in hardback (224 pages, in English).
The book analyses the expansion of the English lexicon and its march towards one million words, with sources of new terms such as Hollywood, the internet, political discourse and mixing with other languages. It includes etymologies, hybrids and malapropisms, and mentions recent words that have entered everyday use.
The author is president of the Global Language Monitor, an organisation that tracks the use of English. The work, published in 2008, is classified in the categories of languages and encyclopaedias.
Recommended for readers interested in the English language, etymology and language curiosities.
