Stages for Entry of New Words in Dictionary:An Analysis

Abstract

This article analyzes how new words are entered into dictionaries. And what are the stages through which a word reaches this standard. Generally, words come into existence in two ways. One is at the public level, when people invent new words to meet their vocabulary needs. When a large portion of the public starts speaking them, these words are added to dictionaries. Secondly, new words are created on a creative level and then they are made popular among the public through various mediums because language is related to speaking. The word that is popular among the public will become part of the dictionary
