Abstract:
The present paper focuses on the capacity of the English vocabulary as a whole and of the English economic vocabulary in particular to enlarge its number of words and expressions in order to suit the realities of nowadays non-business and business communication. In order to support this lexical reality we have resorted to placing under scrutiny a set of brand new especially economic words, expressions and abbreviations that have been included since 2021 up to 2024 in well known dictionaries like Oxford English Dictionary, Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Cambridge Dictionary mainly as a consequence of their already widespread usage. Moreover, our research went to the next level emphasizing the rapid circulation of the economic terms under discussion which have succeeded to go beyond the borders of the English language as several of them can already be found in Romanian economic contexts.
