Recensione
'Cantonese popular literature, comic books and movies in fact, everyday life is incomprehensible without some understanding of slang. [...] A Dictionary of Cantonese Slang is the one and only, covering everything from common colloquialisms to triad trash-talking.' --Professor Frank Dikötter, author of Ma' s Great Famine
'A very significant contribution to the field of Chinese lexicography. [...] Will shed much light on the kind of Cantonese speech that many people know about, talk about, and use in their daily conversations yet have not considered worthy of serious scholarship.' --Robert S. Bauer, Hong Kong Polytechnic University
