Vocabulário atual

Para quem deseja ou precisa permanecer atualizado quanto às expressões mais recentes em inglês e, ocacionalmente, em outras línguas, que estão circulando na mídia, recomendo o divertido e informativo blog Schott's Vocabulary, associado ao The New York Times. Abaixo, a apresentação.

About Schott's Vocab

Self Portrait

Schott’s Vocab is a repository of unconsidered lexicographical trifles — some serious, others frivolous, some neologized, others newly newsworthy. Each day, Schott's Vocab explores news sites around the world to find words and phrases that encapsulate the times in which we live or shed light on a story of note. If language is the archives of history, as Emerson believed, then Schott’s Vocab is an attempt to index those archives on the fly.

Ben Schott is the author of “Schott’s Original Miscellany,” its two sequels, and the yearbook “Schott’s Almanac.” He is a contributing columnist to The Times’s Op-Ed page. He lives in London.
