Το mankini στο νέο Collins

[nickel]

Όταν το BBC διαλέγει την παρακάτω φωτογραφία με το mankini του Μπόρατ για να εικονογραφήσει τη διαδικτυακή σελίδα του (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8230393.stm) σχετικά με την κυκλοφορία του νέου Collins English Dictionary, νιώθω λιγότερο άγχος που μας προβάλλουν άλλοι τόποι (εν προκειμένω το slang.gr) για τις λεξιλογικές μας προτάσεις για το glory hole (http://www.lexilogia.gr/forum/showthread.php?p=43098#post43098) (και, αλήθεια, ποια παραδοσιακά (mainstream) αγγλικά λεξικά περιέχουν την επίμαχη σημασία του σύμπλοκου);

http://www.lexilogia.gr/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=311&stc=1&d=1252144313

Το νέο Collins English Dictionary κυκλοφόρησε με 267 καινούργιες λέξεις (σιγά το πράμα! Η Wikipedia ισχυρίζεται ότι 25.000 νέες λέξεις προστίθενται στην αγγλική γλώσσα ετησίως) και κατάφερε να γίνει αρκετό σούσουρο, αφενός γιατί έκανε μια σφυγμομέτρηση ποιες 24 λέξεις θα έπρεπε να αφαιρέσει για να κάνει χώρο (λες και το λεξικό είναι σπίτι με συγκεκριμένα τετραγωνικά και θα πρέπει να πετάξεις τη σαβούρα πριν φέρεις τα νέα έπιπλα) και αφετέρου γιατί πρόσθεσε, όπως κάνει κάθε νέο λεξικό που σέβεται τη σημασία του νέου, και μερικές λέξεις. Και έχω πεθάνει στα πόδια μου να ψάχνω να βρω πού βρίσκεται ο πλήρης κατάλογος με τις 267 λέξεις. Όποιος τις βρει, ας κάνει τον κόπο να μας το πει και του υπόσχομαι 267 νήματα αφιερωμένα στο όνομά του.

[drsiebenmal]

Έχω να διατυπώσω ευσεβάστως τρεις αντιρρήσεις στον κατάλογο των 24 λέξεων που προτείνονται για αφαίρεση.

Το apodeictic (unquestionably true by virtue of demonstration και επομένως όχι αποδεικτικός) δεν πρέπει να αφαιρεθεί για να προλάβουμε να το προσθέσουμε στα λήμματα με τις ψευδόφιλες λέξεις (http://www.lexilogia.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=3997). Επιπλέον, όπως και το periapt, δεν πρέπει να αφαιρεθούν για να μη δοθούν επιχειρήματα σε όσους ισχυρίζονται ότι η ελληνική γλώσσα δέχεται επίθεση από παγκόσμιες λεξικογραφικές δυνάμεις και τους εγχώριους εγκάθετούς τους με σκοπό τη συρρίκνωσή της επιρροής της.
Τέλος, το agrestic (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Agrestic&redirect=no)δεν πρέπει να καταργηθεί για να μπορούν και οι μελλοντικές γενιές να απολαμβάνουν απρόσκοπτα τις περιπέτειες της Νάνσι Μπότγουιν (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Botwin).

Εδώ, κουράστηκα, άλλος πρόθυμος να πάρει τη σκυτάλη;

* λέξεις/φράσεις που βρήκα ως προτεινόμενες και δεν είναι βέβαιο ότι συμπεριλήφθηκαν τελικά. Αν και, επειδή πολλές από τις πηγές είναι δημοσιογραφικές, έχω κάποιες επιφυλάξεις και για τις υπόλοιπες.

Δεν πιστεύω, βέβαια, να περιμένετε και ορισμούς!!

Εδώ http://www.harpercollins.co.uk/News_and_Events/News/Pages/New-Entries-in-Collins-Concise.aspx γράφει επίσης για προσθήκες, αλλά στο Concise English Dictionary. Δεν είναι όμως πολύ πιθανό, αφού συμπεριλήφθηκαν στο Concise, να τις δούμε και στο "μεγάλο" CED;

Με το ένα τρίτο των λέξεων, τι κερδίζω, θείο; :):p

[daeman]

Επίσης, από εδώ (http://www.prnewswire.de/cgi/news/release?id=90262), ένας κατηγοριοποιημένος κατάλογος κάποιων λέξεων/φράσεων που παρακολουθεί η Bank of English (http://www.collins.co.uk/books.aspx?group=153)® για να κρίνει αν θα συμπεριληφθούν τελικά στις εκδόσεις του CED.

The database is continuously updated by Collins dictionaries and the University of Birmingham from sources including books, newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, websites, journals and conversations.

Κι εδώ (http://www.visualthesaurus.com/cm/wordroutes/1614/)ένας ενδιαφέρων προβληματισμός που βρήκα τυχαία, σχετικά με το αν το -- πολυσυζητημένο, τελικά -- meh (an interjection to suggest indifference or boredom, που διαδόθηκε μέσω των Simpsons) πρέπει να συμπεριληφθεί στο λεξικό ή όχι.

Αντιγράφω μόνο έναν κατάλογο των 163 επιφωνηματικών λέξεων/φράσεων που περιλαμβάνονται στο Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, οι πιο ασυνήθιστες από τις οποίες με είχαν ταλαιπωρήσει κατά καιρούς:

Meanwhile, the makers of dictionaries try their best, but they're still a bit unsure of how to handle interjections.
Nonetheless, quite a lot of them have entered the major dictionaries. I did a quick search of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary and found 163 interjections listed. Here they are for your enjoyment.

Από εδώ, με ορισμούς αυτών και κάποιων από τις πρώτες 87: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-459643/Muffin-tops-wags-size-zero-celebutante-make-new-Collins-Dictionary.html

and the quest continues...

[Zazula]

Για το Fannie Mae, πάνω που ετοιμαζόμουν να πω "μα καλά, πόσο βρετανικό πρέπει να είναι ένα λεξικό για να μην το λημματογραφεί ακόμη;" (το Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary το έχει, φυσικά), είδα ότι το περιέχει και το Oxford Talking Dictionary (αμφότερα τα προαναφερθέντα λεξικά είναι του 1998).

To pseudocide (και το pseudocidal) λημματογραφούνται στο OTD.

To OTD έχει δύο fisk, δεν ξέρω αν εννοούμε κάποιο απ' αυτά.

Το anatexis λημματογραφείται στο RHWUD.

Το heh λημματογραφείται και στα δύο.

[daeman]

Για το fisk, από το επίμαχο (Lexicographers prefer a mankini (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8230393.stm)) που αναφέρει ο Νίκελ στο #1:
Journalist Robert Fisk, whose often controversial stories have been intensively targeted by critics, has inspired the slang term "fisk" - meaning to refute or criticise an article point by point.
He told the BBC: "The internet has created a new hatred."

Και κάτι σχετικό με τα mankini και man bag, το mandals, το οποίο βρήκα χτες-προχτές σε πρόσφατης εσοδείας υπότιτλο με την εξής επεξηγηματική σημείωση:
mandals = a combination of "man" and "sandals"; men's leather sandals are supposedly effeminate and unfashionable.

Αν συνυπολογίσουμε και το man flu, φαίνεται πως αρχίζουν και μας βάζουν στο στόχαστρο (όχι εμάς, προς Θεού! τσ' άλλοι που κάνουν τέτοιας λογής καμώματα :o). Εγώ, πάντως, και μια τσάντα τη βαστάω, όταν πρέπει να κουβαλάω, και πέδιλα φοράω, χωρίς να τα προτιμάω, και στο κρυολόγημα μασάω. Mankini, no thanks! Λες να είμαι unfashionable? Meh...

Κι εκείνο το πολυσυζητημένο meh, μάλλον θα το αποδίδαμε: Μπα! ή Δε βαριέσαι... ή Πού να τρέχεις τώρα... ή Δε γ..ιέται! ή Ωχ, αδερφέ! ή διάφορα άλλα ραχατλίδικα, που έχουμε μπόλικα.
