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.
