Synopsis
The whole schmeer everything you need to know about New York talk. Speakers from New York City and its surrounding regions have a distinct accent and speech mannerisms all their own. Linguists study them and tough-talking screen gangsters imitate them. Now the phrases, words, expressions, and ethnic roots of New York speech are defined in one handy reference. In A-to-Z format, New Yawk Tawk collects more than 1,200 entries that will take readers on a fun and informative "tour" of the self-proclaimed "Capital of the World."

Review
"This [New York Tawk] gives me a chance to recommend a range of recent Hendrickson dialect works . . . from 'Yankee Talk' to 'Whistlin' Dixie' to last year's Ozarkian 'Mountain Range.'" -- William Safire, The New York Times Magazine

Seller: Strand Book Store, ABAA, New York, NY, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Drawing on advertising, magazines, movies, newspapers, legends and the works of writers like Jimmy Breslin, Damon Runyon, and Mario Puzo, and even conversations overheard on the subway, there're some 2,000 entries attesting to New Yorkese. From the hurried delivery of nyesplayshagothere for 'nice place you got here' to the simple Brooklynese slurring of berl (for 'boil'), the book provides a one-of-its-kind linguistic guide. It may not be on the arm, but it's definitely affordable. 181p. Seller Inventory # 99054
