ABSTRACT
As language is an important source of information, it comes as no surprise that the vocabulary of humanity as a whole is growing. For the English language alone, it has been reported that each month about 150 million words are added to the Oxford Dictionary corpus database to track and verify new/emerging words, which leads to approximately 1,000 new entries to Oxford Dictionaries Online every year. In simplified terms, language can be said to have two principal means of accounting for change, one explicit and another more implicit. A first and more explicit means by which language reacts to change is to create a new word, a so-called "neologism". Generally, the explicit change of language as reflected in the creation of neologisms is more relevant to the emergence of essentially oxymoronic concepts. One can even build machines, or computers, that embody these paradoxes. These paradoxes are thus far from mere games, and they reach much further than human language.
