Lecture by linguist Boris Iomdin: “How to ‘batonit’ on ‘gari’ without getting overwhelmed”

Linguist, co-author, and editor of dictionaries Boris Iomdin studies new words and the changing meanings of old ones. Since early 2022, he has been publishing a new word every day on his Telegram channel “Learned a New Word,” where followers discuss the details of its meaning and usage in the comments. In this lecture, Boris Iomdin will share his latest observations about words, their origins and spread, and how native speakers perceive them.
