In this unprecedented interview, the English linguist David Crystal outlines the lexical and morphological changes within the English language, particularly in the last decade. In addition, he discusses neologisms incorporated to the English language (British), especially those originating from Brazilian Portuguese. Finally, Crystal talks about the growth of varieties of global English and, also, the phenomenon entitled: "New English(es)".
