Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. Maynard, Ken (illustrator). 527 Pages with Word Index. Acknowledgements, Introduction, How to Use the Dictionary, Dictionary, Word Lists, and New Words. The Dinkum Dictionary will bring a brown dog back to life, will put hair on your chest, will stir the possums. An immensely comprehensive collection of the words reallly used in Australia. Contians t00 new words and phrases. With nearly 17,000 entries the Dinkum Dictionary is the essential guide to Aussie English. A great guide to the Oz vernacular, not just another dicitonary of slag. It is the language of words and phrases used in every-day conversations and confirms that the speech of the Australians is one of the richest and most creative parts of the English language. There are no regional dialects and only minor idiomatic and semantic variations between the States. Australians understand each other as easily as they understand a person from another country who speaks English. The problem arises from the Australian penchant for inventing and using colloguialisms for every facet of life, a habit that is now carrying over to the printed word. And increasingly these colloguialisms are used in diaily newspapers. It is this extensive use of idiomatic expressions (idiotic expressions mnay foreigners would say) in the printed as well as the spoken word which astonishes non-Australians, much to the puzzlement of Aussies who think their language is simple enough for any nong to understand.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
