Dr. Tom Murphy of the Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science, has created an incredibly illustrative video in which he outlines his incredible project and paper to create a "Portmantout" of the entire English language.

For SIGBOVIK 2015 I built some software to create a portmanteau (which is where you jam two words together, like caviar+armpits = caviarmpits) of all of the words in the English language. It's called a "portmantout", since "tout" means "all" in French.
