New Shakespeare

All peoples in the world are usually proud of their

national inventors. Thomas Edison is held up as a genius in engineering. Steve Jobs

is mainly thought “a saint” in Silicon Valley. Dmitri Mendeleev is a scientist

famous for his discovery of the law of organizing the elements.

But while all these people invented things or

discovered nature laws, it’s possible to invent something even more

fundamental. If we take Shakespeare as an example, we may say that he invented

words.

If we dig deeper into Shakespeare’s word creations, we

can find the number of them. He invented about one thousand and seven hundred

words. That’s a big number! Those are the words that still continue to shape

the English language.
