A comprehensive and up-to-date account of our variety of English, it not only includes all those words and senses peculiar to Australian English, but also those common to the whole English-speaking world.The Sixth Edition features:- the complete record of English as it is used in Australia, from the colourfully colloquial to the highly technical- thousands of new words and senses, such as apera, bladerunner, dramality, frape, yarn bombing, urban homesteading, virtual choir, mummy blog, and many more- words relating to the environment and climate change, such as blue revolution, envirocrime, flood pulse, green tape, novel ecosystem, rock fillet, and many more- illustrative phrases, many from Australian literature, which clearly show how a word is used in context - words and phrases from regional Australia as chonks for "lollies" from Victoria, gent for a "maggot" from South Australia, and anchovy for "whitebait" from Tasmania- words and phrases from other varieties of English which impinge on Australian English, as British English and American English, and English in Southeast Asia, India, and China- extensive usage notes- etymologies of words and phrases Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
