Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. 1st Edition. 308 pages (complete). Possibly one of the most important books yet to be published about being a South African. The first dictionary to seriously try to record and define contemporary South African English (as distinct from British, American and Australian English). This became an essential volume of research and reference for the study of linguistics and development of a unique brand of English. This is a much used and owned copy. The cover has a clear adhesive plastic covering. This is scruffy. The dustjacket beneath is battered, worn and torn but held securely by the adhesive covering. There are mild annotations throughout. The pages are clear, sure, relaxed, very accessible and enthusiastic. fn[RF6]. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services. Seller Inventory # 30gj
