Un-word of the year (German: Unwort des Jahres) is an annual selection of one new or recently popularized term that violates human rights or infringes upon democratic principles, made by a panel of German linguists. The term may be one that discriminates against societal groups or may be euphemistic, disguising or misleading. The term is chosen from suggestions sent in by the public. The choice of the word does not depend on how many times it was suggested, but reflects the judgement of the panel. The core of the panel consists of four linguists and one journalist. The un-word of the previous year is announced every January.

dbo:abstract
  • Das Unwort des Jahres ist eine zivilgesellschaftliche, sprachkritische Aktion, die in Deutschland 1991 von dem Frankfurter Sprachwissenschaftler Horst Dieter Schlosser ins Leben gerufen wurde. Bis 1994 wurde das „Unwort des Jahres“ von der Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache (GfdS) gewählt. Nach einem Konflikt mit dem Vorstand der GfdS machte sich die Jury als „Sprachkritische Aktion Unwort des Jahres“ selbständig. Für das Jahr 2020 entschied sich die Jury zum ersten Mal für zwei Unwörter. (de)

The un-word of the previous year is announced every January. The linguistic action was started in 1994 by the linguist . The yearly publication of the "un-words of the year" is today widely reported in German media and very popular among Germans. In 2007, the president of the German PEN association, Johano Strasser, criticized the selections as being "themselves a symptom of the language neglect that it pretends to be able to heal" and having the quality of Deutschland sucht den Superstar (a popular German talent show).
