Podcast appearances and mentions of emily brewster

Arlena Marshall là một nữ diễn viên xinh đẹp, luôn liếc mắt đưa tình những người đàn ông hấp dẫn đối với cô. Cô đến Khách sạn Hải Tặc cùng chồng Kenneth Marshall, và con gái riêng của chồng, Linda Marshall, 16 tuổi. Linda rất ghét mẹ kế. Arlena đong đưa tán tỉnh anh chàng Patrick Redfern đẹp trai, trước sự giận dữ ra mặt của vợ anh ta, Christine, một cựu giáo viên. Cùng ngụ trong khách sạn này có Hercule Poirot; ông Horace Blatt khoác lác; thiếu tá Barry, sĩ quan người Anh gốc Ấn Độ về hưu hay kể chuyện lê thê; Rosamund Darnley, nhà tạo mẫu thời trang cao cấp, vốn là bạn thanh mai trúc mã với Kenneth; bà Carrie Gardener, một du khách người Mỹ lắm mồm, và ông chồng tên Odell; cha xứ Stephen Lane; và cô Emily Brewster, quý cô chưa chồng khỏe như vận động viên.Arlena được phát hiện bị giết chết vào buổi sáng của một ngày đẹp trời. Các chứng cứ ngoại phạm bắt đầu được thu thập. Arlena chèo bè đến Vũng Tiên rõ ràng cho một cuộc hẹn hò. Nhưng cả Kenneth lẫn Patrick đều tìm cô. Cuối cùng, khi đi trèo thuyền cùng Emily, Patrick phát hiện một cái xác nằm sải tay, giấu mặt trong nón, những lọn tóc đỏ ló ra ngoài. Anh ở lại đó trong lúc Emily đi báo cảnh sát. Bác sĩ pháp y nhận định nạn nhân bị một đôi bàn tay rất khỏe mạnh siết cổ chết. Khi cảnh sát sở tại và Hercule Poirot phối hợp điều tra ráo riết, lần ra nhiều bí mật đen tối của các vị du khách. Ông Horace Blatt khoác lác có thể là một tay buôn lậu ma túy. Cha xứ Stephen Lane thù ghét đàn bà lẳng lơ đến phát bệnh thần kinh. Một lời khai bổ sung của nhà tạo mẫu thời trang Rosamund Darnley hóa ra là nói dối, hơn nữa mọi du khách cùng ở đó đều thấy rõ cô phải lòng Kenneth… Rất nhiều nghi phạm và động cơ!Đùng một phát, Linda Marshall uống thuốc ngủ tự tử, để lại thư tuyệt mệnh thú nhận tội lỗi! Rất may cô hầu phòng phát hiện và Linda được đưa đi cứu chữa trong tình trạng thập tử nhất sinh. Phải chăng chỉ cần đợi cô bé sống lại là có thể làm rõ các bước gây án? Chỉ có Hercule Poirot mới trả lời được câu hỏi này.--Về Fonos:Fonos là Ứng dụng âm thanh số - Với hơn 3.000+ nội dung gồm Sách nói có bản quyền, Ebook, Tóm tắt sách, Thiền định, Truyện ngủ, Nhạc chủ đề, Truyện thiếu nhi.

Finding the first time a word was ever used: seems pretty simple, right? All you have to do is read everything ever written, and then write down where you first saw it. And then hope that it wasn't used for years in speech before ever being written down (it pretty much always was). Then you get to do the same for every other word. Like we said, easy.Today we're getting into the inexact, exacting science of finding a word's earliest use.Hosted by Emily Brewster, Neil Serven, Ammon Shea, and Peter Sokolowski.Produced in collaboration with New England Public Media.Transcript available here.

If you read the title of this episode and cringed, you're not alone. At Merriam-Webster, editors and lexicographers receive countless letters grousing about the addition of certain words to the dictionary. And here at Science Diction, we get our fair share of emails pointing out our linguistic missteps.  But the more you dig into the origins of words, the more you notice that when it comes to language, “correctness” is a slippery concept. In fact, some of our most beloved English words - nickname! newt! - were born of mistakes.  In this episode, Merriam-Webster lexicographers Emily Brewster and Peter Sokolowski explain the mistake-ridden origins of our words, how language evolves, and how wrong becomes right. Plus, we answer a listener question about the most exported word in the English language. Guests:  Emily Brewster is a Senior Editor and Lexicographer at Merriam-Webster.  Peter Sokolowski is a Lexicographer at Merriam-Webster. Credits:  Science Diction is produced by Johanna Mayer and Senior Producer and Editor Elah Feder. Daniel Peterschmidt composed our music, and they mastered this episode.

Our guest this week is a lexicographer. That's someone who studies words and, in this case, edits dictionaries. Emily Brewster is a senior editor at Merriam-Webster and host of the podcast Word Matters. Emily answers a question from 8-year-old Emma in Kentucky, who wants to know how words are added to the dictionary. But before we can answer that, we'll tackle 7-year-old Julia's question, "How are new words created?" Join us for an episode about how words are created, when they've reached a critical level of use to get their own dictionary entry, and when words are removed from the dictionary. Get ready for some word nerdery! Download our learning guides: PDF | Google Slide | Transcript More Word Episodes: Who Invented Words? But Why Live: Words and Language Why Are Some Words ‘Bad’?  "How do words get added to the dictionary?" - Emma, 8, Kentucky Lexicographers like Emily Brewster read and listen a lot and pay attention to the new words that people are using.  They collect these examples and determine how many instances there are of the word and what different kinds of sources are using the word. "If all the examples are only appearing on TikTok, then that tells us one thing about the word. But as soon as they're also appearing in, you know, a magazine that you would see at the dentist's office, then that tells us something else about the word's status," Emily explains. "So we are always looking for information, for evidence, of how words are being used by the people who speak the English language. And when we have enough evidence that the word is really part of the language, that it's a word that most people already will recognize when they hear it, that's when we know that it's ready to be added to the dictionary." For example, the word COVID-19 was a word created by the World Health Organization about a year and a half ago. "It got into our dictionary faster than any other word in the history of the dictionary has ever been added. Because what we knew immediately was that this word was not going away, that everybody was talking about this word," Emily says. Sometimes dictionary editors update the definition of words that were already included. For example, the definitions of "pod" and "bubble" were updated this past January to include a new meaning: people you might have grouped up with when you weren't seeing other people because of the pandemic. Other new words recently added to the dictionary include: "makerspace," where people get together in a common area and often share tools to make their own projects; "BIPOC," an abbreviation for Black, Indigenous and People of Color; and "second gentleman," in reference to Vice President Kamala Harris's husband. Once it's been established that a word is in widespread use, an editor will carefully read through evidence of the word in use and formulate a meaning in very careful language. Another editor will determine how old a word is and its earliest usage, another will look at the word's history, and the word will get a pronunciation. Then it's ready to be added to the dictionary. Merriam-Webster updates their online dictionary with new words or new definitions of words a few times a year. Emily says words don't usually get taken out of dictionaries, but editors do make choices about which words appear in print dictionaries. Support But Why | Newsletter Sign-Up
