Abstract

This article is about the language that is the object of campaigns and projects. These events (the Total Dictation and Dicos d’or) firstly attract the attention of the media, and due to them the civilian population shows the interest for the campaign. Such pseudo-events as “The millionth English word” provoke a scientific discussion about the lexical richness of a language, attract the general public and stimulate interest in the language, in studying it.
