While the Oxford University Press honored "selfies" as its 2013 Word of the Year, celebrating those quickly snapped self-portraits, Merriam-Webster is taking a more academic approach to its annual linguistic spotlight. The dictionary has declared "science" its 2013 Word of the Year. The honor is based on increased interest as measured by the number of people looking up a word over time. If you haven't looked it up online, here's how Merriam-Webster defines science: "knowledge about or study of the natural world based on facts learned through experiments and observation." Science, according to Merriam-Webster Editor-at-Large Peter Sokolowski, is the word behind the news in 2013. "It is a word that is connected to broad cultural dichotomies: observation and intuition, evidence and tradition," Sokolowski said in a statement. "A wide variety of discussions centered on science this year, from climate change to educational policy. We saw heated debates about 'phony' science, or whether science held all the answers." The result, he said, was a 176 percent increase in lookups of the word "science" in 2013 compared with 2012. The second-most fascinating word of 2013 had a scientific bent as well, Merriam-Webster announced. That word was "cognitive," defined by the dictionary as "of, relating to, being, or involving conscious intellectual activity (as thinking, reasoning, or remembering)." Cognitive may have gotten a boost from increasing awareness of traumatic brain injury in the National Football League, National Hockey League, and among military veterans, according to Merriam-Webster. "People are not only interested in knowing more about how injuries affect cognitive function, but also how age and other factors affect cognitive function and development," Sokolowski said.

Izabrana je nova riječ godine Pretraživanje za riječ godine porasla je za čak 601 posto u odnosu na 2020. godinu Američka tvrtka Merriam-Webster poznata po svojim rječnicima odabrala je i ove godine riječ godine. Za 2021. ta riječ je - cjepivo. "Ovo je bila riječ koja je bila iznimno visoka u našim podacima svaki dan u 2021.", rekao je Peter Sokolowski, glavni urednik Merriam-Webstera. S ovim odabirom slaže se i Oxfordski rječnik, koji je za istu riječ odabrao kao riječ godine, piše New York Post. ''Ova riječ predstavlja dvije različite priče. Jednu znanstvenu o izuzetnoj brzini kojom su se cjepiva razvijala. Ali tu su i rasprave o politici, politikama i političkoj pripadnosti. To je jedna riječ koja nosi ove dvije ogromne priče'', rekao je Sokolowski. Prošle godine, prema podacima što su ljudi najviše pretraživali, Merriam-Webster izabrao je riječ 'pandemija' kao najpretraživaniju riječ te godine. U Merriam-Websteru, pretraživanja za "cjepivo" porasla su za 601% u odnosu na 2020., kada je prva američka injekcija primijenjena u New Yorku u prosincu nakon brzog razvoja i mjeseci nagađanja i rasprave o učinkovitosti. Prvo cijepljenje na svijetu dogodio se ranije tog mjeseca u Velikoj Britaniji.
