For ESL learners
accumulation means: The act of amassing or gathering, as into a pile.. Register: neutral, standard English.

A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.

After such an accumulation of mistakes in the treatment of lexical items, it comes as no surprise that the section on word formation on p. 133 is equally poor.

For specific readers
Why is this section here?
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
