The Bloomsbury Dictionary of Rhyming Slangs

Autor Terry Victor, Antonio Lillo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iun 2014
The Bloomsbury Dictionary of Rhyming Slangs provides a comprehensive and authoritative record of the variant rhyming slangs used in the Anglophone world. The dictionary specifically records social, regional and local variation within the UK alongside an up to date survey of rhyming slangs used in World Englishes at large. It builds upon previous work in the area and establishes a rigorous and authoritative account of the hugely imaginative way that rhyme is used within slangs and argot speech. It stresses accuracy and provability alongside its diversity. This is an academically rigorous work that is both accessible and scholarly. In the manner of the New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English this is a dictionary with authority and a personality.

Cuprins

1. Introduction. An introductory essay on the history, spread and development of rhyming slang around the Anglophone world. 2. Body of the dictionary (microstructure). Each entry will feature the following: (i) Headword and variants. (ii) Part of speech. (iii) Geographical label(s). (iv) Definition (the rhyme word, if appropriate, is part of the definition; never use a word that itself needs looking up elsewhere and treat all slang and unconventional English as unknown). (v) A gloss which (a) may enlarge upon the significance and social context of the headword; and (b) may enlarge upon the target word with which the headword rhymes. Where relevant (and where known), the gloss will include a commentary pointing to the term's origin and usage, as well as a short consideration of the social circumstance or, and with regard to, the local significance of dialect and accented speech. (vi) The gloss or commentary will be supported by at least one written or oral citation exemplifying the word's usage.
