His use of simple diction granted readers of all ages access to his works; children were amused by the main characters' adventures and discoveries, while adults were intrigued with the witty, clever lines and the symbolic social commentary. Also, he introduced the portmanteau, and several new words to the English language. In his famous nonsensical poem "Jabberwocky", found in the pages of Alice in Wonderland, for example, he introduces new words such as "chortle" a combination of chuckle and snort, and gallumph, a combination of gallop and triumph. Such words have actually been adopted into the English language
