POST - TRUTH :THE WORD OF THE YEAR 2016.

Dear Readers,
          HERE, I am going to tell you about POST - TRUTH :THE WORD OF THE YEAR 2016.

🔷WHAT IS POST - TRUTH?
 ♣ According to Collin's Dictionary, " A post truth i a situation in which people are less influenced by factual information than by their emotions or by beliefs they already hold".

♣ According to Cambridge Dictionary, "post truth i relating to a situation in which people are more likely to accept an argument based on their emotions an beliefs, rather than one based on facts".

🔷HOW OXFORD DICTIONARY DECIDES ABOUT THE WORD OF THE YEAR?
♣ I was so curious about how the Oxford dictionary decides or chooses the word of the year so I wrote them an email to know about how they do it, here I'm sharing their answer about my mail.
Hello Sima,

Thank you for contacting us.



Please find below, a statement on how we choose the Word of the Year:



‘The Oxford Word of the Year is a word or expression that has attracted a great deal of interest over the last 12 months. Every year, we debate several candidates for word of the year and choose a winner that is judged to reflect the ethos, mood, or preoccupations of that particular year and to have lasting potential as a word of cultural significance.’



You can find this statement, as well as all of our Word of the Year entries, here.



Kind regards,

The Oxford Dictionaries team
