WOTY (Word of the Year)

Two of our very own linguists, Dr. Barend Beekhuizen and Dr. María Cristina Cuervo, appeared in the media recently to talk about the Oxford University Press Word Of The Year "rizz".

If you are not familiar with the word "rizz", we have good news! Barend (on CP24) and Cristina (on 640 Toronto Radio) offer insight into what the word means, who is using it, and how it may have emerged in the language.

Check out the links below for more information.
