Recenzii
'With a focus on dialect and informal language use in locations across England and Wales, this Thesaurus combines material from major projects by the BBC, the British Library, and the University of Leeds. It provides a unique resource for those interested in contemporary language variation, and is accessible to a wide audience, ranging from older school students to more advanced researchers.' Lesley Milroy, Professor Emerita of Linguistics, University of Michigan
'You would have to be 'mazed as a sheep' to attempt what Jonnie Robinson has achieved in the A Thesaurus of English Dialect and Slang. It lays out the lexical riches of the BBC Voices survey interviews in beautiful clarity, according to region, locality, and semantic themes, accompanied by revealing comments from the speakers interviewed and etymological context researched by the author. It is a major resource, meticulously realized, and a testament to the continuing vitality of regional British English.' Rob Penhallurick, Reader in English Language, Department of English, Swansea University
