Items related to Studies in Slang,- Part I (Forum Anglicum)
The present monograph opens a forum for a detailed discussion of slang items, an activity of worth both in itself and for the insight it can bring to broader issues in linguistics; skedaddle, shlemiel, ker- (e.g. kerflop), etc. have greater potential for scholarly research than is generally recognized. Attention is also drawn to the importance of Peter Tamony's extensive work on slang.
