what's merriam-webster's word of the year for 2023? hint: be true to yourself
from: ap news
in an age of deepfakes and post-truth, as artificial intelligence rose and elon musk turned twitter into x, the merriam-webster word of the year for 2023 is “authentic.”
authentic cuisine. authentic voice. authentic self. authenticity as artifice. lookups for the word are routinely he**y on the dictionary company's site but were boosted to new heights throughout the year, editor at large peter sokolowski told the associated press in an exclusive interview.
we see in 2023 a kind of crisis of authenticity,” he said ahead of monday's announcement of this year's word. “what we realize is that when we question authenticity, we value it even more.”
sokolowski and his team don't delve into the reasons people head for dictionaries and websites in search of specific words. rather, they chase the data on lookup spikes and world events that correlate. this time around, there was no particularly huge boost at any given time but a constancy to the increased interest in “authentic.”
this was the year of artificial intelligence, for sure, but also a moment when chatgpt-maker openai suffered a leadership crisis. taylor swift and prince harry chased after authenticity in their words and deeds. musk himself, at february's world government summit in dubai, urged the heads of companies, politicians, ministers and other leaders to “speak authentically” on social media by running their own accounts.
can we trust whether a student wrote this **can we trust whether a politician made this statement? we don't always trust what we see anymore,” sokolowski said. “we sometimes don't believe our own eyes or our own ears. we are now recognizing that authenticity is a performance itself.”
merriam-webster's entry for “authentic” is busy with meaning.
there is “not false or imitation: real, actual,” as in an authentic cockney accent. there's “true to one's own personality, spirit or character.” there's “worthy of acceptance or belief as conforming to or based on fact.” there is “made or done the same way as an original.” and, perhaps the most telling, there's “conforming to an original so as to reproduce essential features.”
authentic” follows 2022's choice of “gaslighting.” and 2023 marks merriam-webster's 20th anniversary choosing a top word.
the company's data crunchers filter out evergreen words like “love” and “affect” vs. “effect” that are always high in lookups among the 500,000 words it defines online. this year, the wordsmiths also filtered out numerous five-letter words because wordle and quordle players clearly use the company's site in search of them as they play the daily games, sokolowski said.
sokolowski, a lexicologist, and his colleagues h**e a bevy of runners-up for word of the year that also attracted unusual traffic. they include “x” (lookups spiked in july after musk's rebranding of twitter), egot” (there was a boost in february when viola d**is achieved that rare quadruple-award status with a grammy) and “elemental,” the title of a new pixar film that had lookups jumping in june.

秋宝诗词2023年9月总汇
浣溪沙。池有莲花室有兰，书香相得几生缘？孤人孤月两消闲。兴许茶清翻有味，可能心旧故无澜。只知娴静是安然。西江月 秋日情怀。一朵游云怯怯，一条流水长长。一山沉默似沧桑，一个鹊儿枝上。一日尤钟梦稳，一秋最爱花黄。一番词句一心肠，一霎有人着相。菩萨蛮。人难年少心难再，不须做梦须担待。拈朵菊花看，清香似去年...
