| Summary | Text | The article examines Arthur Conan Doyle's contributions to the English language, using the Oxford English Dictionary to show how his writing introduced hundreds of influential usages, especially through Sherlock Holmes and his historical novels. It argues that while Conan Doyle rarely coined entirely new words, his inventive, vivid deployment of existing language shaped modern English so deeply that even Sherlock Holmes itself became a dictionary entry. |
