Dictionary.com charles e. Carson Duke University Press Send newly found words to woty@americandialect.org This installment continues the consideration of items nominated in the 2016 Word of the Year (WOTY) proceedings at the annual meeting of the American Dialect Society in Austin, Texas, on January 6, 2017. The first part was published in the February 2017 issue (AS 92.1), covering nominees in the alphabetical range from alt-right to nasty woman. The second part below covers #NoDAPL to yuge. A full list of the winners and runners-up in the various categories can be found in the introduction to the previous installment of âATNW,â and details of the voting and lists of past winners are available at the ADS website (http:/.americandialect .org/dumpster-fire-is-2016-american-dialect-society-word-of-the-year). The political tilt of the nominees for 2016 is again evident here, leading off with post-truth, winner in one of the newly introduced categories, Political Word of the Year. (See the introduction to âATNW,â AS 92.1, for more on the changes made to the lineup of WOTY categories.) Oxford Dictionaries also selected post-truth as its choice for Word of the Year (âOxford Dictionaries Word of the Year 2016 isâ¦â, Oxford Dictionaries, Nov. 16, 2016, / www.oxforddictionaries.com/press/news/2016/12/11/WOTY-16).â As Geoffrey Nunberg
