Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Welcome to Australian Slang, a richly-textured, often ribald world of laconic humour. This dictionary is a work-in-progress now in its 4th edition that aims to do three things; (a) help the traveller to decipher some of what they hear Australians saying, (b) give the casual reader some insi…ght if not amusement at how we Aussies think and speak, and (c) record for posterity the many expressions that are slipping into disuse in the 21st Century. Along with the home-grown expressions, readers will recognize both British and American expressions in this dictionary. Australian English has absorbed much from America and Britain over the years. For depth of knowledge and skill at using their own language, no-one beats the British. They invented the language after all. From its origins as an obscure West Germanic dialect and a thousand years in the making, the English language is the very soul of what it is to be English. Across the Atlantic Ocean, American English has over many years acquired a creative momentum that recognizes no boundaries. Americans have taken a good all-purpose language from the British and extended it to describe their dynamically changing culture. They do not cling to old forms out of respect for tradition as the British do. Anything is fair game. The Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw famously observed that Britain and America (are) two great nations divided by the same language. The quote is also attributed to Oscar Wilde and Winston Churchill. Being a witty truism, people are bound to pick it up and use it in every day conversation. If it's funny and true, the saying will spread and become established. That is no less the case with Australian slang. Australian English has of course gone its own way. Take an ancient Saxon dialect, cultivate it for centuries in the pleasant green countryside of England, then uproot and transplant it to a far-off land where the countryside and wildlife are very different from the old country. Expose it to the baking sun and driving rain for a couple of centuries until you are left with something like weathered wood, tough, richly textured and beautiful in its rugged way. Australian English is as much an expression of an ancient landscape as it is a dialect of the convicts and early settlers who came to Australia. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. G'day, mate. Ever feel like Australians are speaking a completely different language?You're not wrong. They are.The sun-scorched continent at the bottom of the world has spent two centuries cooking up a vernacular so distinctly its own that even native English speakers find themselves stran…ded in a thicket of bewildering expressions. What on earth is a "drongo"? Why would anyone be "flat out like a lizard drinking"? And should you be flattered or offended when someone calls you a "larrikin"?If you've ever found yourself nodding politely while an Australian speaks, understanding approximately forty percent of what's being said, this book was written expressly for you.Australian slang is not merely colourful decoration - it is the soul of an entire culture.Born of convict ships and goldfields, of drought and flood, of the irreverent bush spirit that refuses to take anything - especially authority - too seriously, Australian English is one of the most expressive and richly layered dialects on earth. Its humour is laconic, its metaphors are gloriously absurd, and its warmth is unmistakable once you know how to hear it. To truly understand Australians, you must understand how they speak. And to understand how they speak, you need this dictionary.Now in its thoroughly revised and expanded Fourth Edition, Australian Slang: A Dictionary is the definitive guide to the words, phrases, rhyming slang, colloquialisms and outright creative insults that make Australian English the endlessly entertaining linguistic phenomenon it is. Compiled by David Tuffley - a fourth-generation Australian whose roots stretch back to the colonial era - the dictionary draws on a lifetime of immersion in the language. Tuffley doesn't merely list terms; he illuminates them, tracing the historical threads that connect a word's origins to its living use, revealing in the process something profound about the Australian character itself.Imagine arriving in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane and actually understanding what people are saying to you.Picture yourself holding your own in conversation, tossing back a well-timed "no worries" or "she'll be right" at precisely the right moment, watching an Australian's face light up with the recognition that here is someone who gets it. Whether you're a traveller preparing for a trip Down Under, an expat navigating daily life in Australia, a linguistics enthusiast, or simply someone who finds language and culture endlessly fascinating, this dictionary delivers genuine understanding - and genuine entertainment.From the A-to-Z lexicon of everyday terms to illuminating essays on the origins of the Australian accent, the influence of cockney rhyming slang, and the egalitarian bush spirit that shaped a national character, this is far more than a reference book. It is an affectionate, witty, deeply informed portrait of a nation through the prism of its language. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
