Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words.
A new research project aims to publish the first Oxford Dictionary of African American English.
Lexicon
The new dictionary, to be produced in three years, will give a historical background to the lexicon of African American English.
A lexicon is a group of words used by a person, people, or that is connected to an individual subject.
