Book excerpt: Excerpt from A General Dictionary of Provincialisms: Written With a View to Rescue From Oblivion the Fast Fading Relics of by-Gone Days After a labour of some years, I have at length succeeded, as far as my slender means, and still slenderer abilities will permit, in the compilation of a Dictionary of Provincial Words. But, though I have accomplished my task, I feel some diffidence, and some misgivings as to its success with the public. I fear the task is very inefficiently executed; and even were it a more correct performance, I am doubtful whether it is one that is likely to suit the public taste. Many friends have laughed at the pains I have bestowed upon it, while one has even told me that the only object to be obtained by it, was that of teaching well-educated persons to speak patois. After this, I was almost tempted to abandon the work in despair, and I verily believe I should have done so, had it not been for the following observation which I met with in the Quarterly Review for February, 1836, No. 110, on the subject of Provincial Words, viz: - "If he (Mr. Stevenson, *) and his fellow-labourers will collect all the words which deserve a place in an archaic and provincial glossary, accompanied with data for ascertaining their meaning, they will be entitled to the thanks of the public, whether their etymologies are right or wrong." Encouraged by these and other observations, I persevered, and now I humbly present the fruits of my labour to the judgment of a scrutinizing, but just public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northern English has become the focus of intensive research in the past decade or so, following on a series of dedicated conferences. The present book brings together leading-edge contributions on various aspects of language use, variation and change in the North of England. The volume covers the history of English in this area as well as providing incisive studies of both the varieties of English spoken in cities and in larger parts of the area. In addition, the collection contains a number of interface studies, e.g. concerned with the borders of the North of England, both to Scotland and the South of England or dealing with second-language varieties of Northern English or with additional issues, such as enregisterment. All these contributions help to draw a comprehensive picture of this key area of the English-speaking world and point the way forward for future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncovering the meaning of individual words or entire texts is a complex process that needs to take into consideration the multiple interactions of linguistic organization including orthography, morphology, syntax and, ultimately, pragmatics. The papers in this volume pay close attention to these interactions and assess both the details of the texts and entire texts within their relevant contexts. All the papers deal with data from the history of English, and they cover a wide range from Old English manuscripts to Early Modern English letters and medical texts to Late Modern English cant vocabulary.

Download or read book Vulgar Tongues written by Max Décharné and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This rollercoaster ride through the colorful history of slang—from highwaymen to hip-hop—is a fresh and exciting take on the subject: entertaining and authoritative without being patronizing, out-of-touch or voyeuristic. Slang is the language of pop culture, low culture, street culture, underground movements and secret societies; depending on your point of view, it is a badge of honor, a sign of identity or a dangerous assault on the values of polite society. Of all the vocabularies available to us, slang is the most alive, constantly evolving and—as it leaks into the mainstream and is taken up by all of us—infusing the language with a healthy dose of vitality. Witty, energetic and informative Vulgar Tongues traces the many routes of slang, beginning with the thieves and prostitutes of Elizabethan London and ending with the present day, where the centuries-old terms rap and hip-hop still survive, though their meanings have changed. On the way we will meet Dr. Johnson, World War II flying aces, pickpockets, schoolchildren, hardboiled private eyes, carnival geeks and the many eccentric characters who have tried to record slang throughout its checkered past. If you’re curious about flapdragons and ale passion, the changing meanings of punk and geek, or how fly originated on the streets of eighteenth-century London and square in Masonic lodges, this is the book for you.
