Title: Neo-Natal Vocabulary
Review: It's not so much that the words in Word Fugitives are in flight, but rather they are waiting to be created. Ms. Wallraff has captured a moment in a highly fertile time for neologisms. Since publication of this slim volume, many new words have entered our language, but the real value of this book is the author's establishment of a perspective in which to view the birth of a new vocabulary.Having (barely) survived a period in which so many new words were added to our language not from necessity, but from ignorance (e.g. :incentivize" where motivate has long served us well), it's exciting to think we are at the beginning of an era in which linguistic creativity serves a real need.I recommend Word Fugitives to anyone who revels in the vitality of the English language and the inventiveness of the Anglophones.
