You can treat a textarea like any other input and use val()

$('#addWord').click(function() {
   $('#textarea').val($('#textarea').val()+" "+$('#selectbox').val());
});

Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/BwV9F/

Try it using .text() instead of .append()

$('#addWord').click(function() {
   $('#textarea').text($('#selectbox').val() + ", ");
});
