8vo; original red rexine, lettered in silver gilt on spine; dustwrapper; pp. xxxi + (i) + 361. Dustwrapper a bit rubbed and partially sunned; a few fox spots to edges and endpapers. Very good condition. "A Dictionary of South African English is designed both for reference and for entertainment. It offers a scholarly treatment of words, structures and concepts drawn from many languages and cultures. . The illustrative quotations, a special feature of this dictionary, are taken from writers ranging from Lady Anne Barnard to Athol Fugard and Fatima Dike, from daily conversations and from many other sources, newspapers, technical journals and Acts of Parliament. They provide both light relief and food for serious thought.".
