Harvard University Press Dictionary of American Regional English
Book SynopsisLike the popular first three volumes of DARE, the fourth is a treasure-trove of linguistic gems, a book that invites exclamation, delight, and wonder. More than six hundred maps pinpoint where you might live if your favorite card games are sheepshead and skat; if you eat pan dulce rather than pain perdu.Trade ReviewThis long-awaited, definitive and fascinating Dictionary of American Regional English [DARE]...is all we had hoped for and more. It includes the regional and folk language, past and present, of the old and the young, men and women, white and black, the rural and the urban, from all walks of life...Although DARE will be one of the most scholarly, comprehensive and detailed dictionaries ever completed...it will also be one of the easiest and most enjoyable to use or browse in...This is an exciting, lasting work of useful scholarship accomplished with excellence, a work that scholars and laypeople alike will study, use and enjoy for generations. -- Stuart B. Flexner * New York Times Book Review *It already seems clear that...the dictionary will rank as one of the glories of contemporary American scholarship...it is endlessly rewarding to dip into, and if you look up a particular word or phrase you are in constant danger of being seduced to something else...It is a work to consult, and a work to savor--a work to last a lifetime. -- John Gross * New York Times *Proof that tourism, television and technological change haven't rounded off all the gaudy and gracious edges of the way we talk. -- L. A. Jolidon * USA Today *A staggering work of collective scholarship...DARE is not only a reference treasure for the scholar and the general word lover, it's a lode for raiding parties by specialists of all kinds...Most of all, DARE is evidence that American speech will never become stale and fusty, that the great linguistic homogenization of television is a myth. -- Henry Kisor * Chicago Sun Times *In its scope and thoroughness, Cassidy's dictionary is unmatched as a kind of refuge for colloquialisms threatened with extinction...Writers, etymologists and other devotees of verbal arcana have never been given a richer browsing ground. But while they are discovering that a blind tiger is a place to buy and drink moonshine, or that there are 176 names for dust balls under the bed, they are also bound to be awed by the dictionary's staggering scholarship. -- Ezra Bowen * Time *More than 20 years in the making, this brand-fire-new tome is loaded with the bare-naked speech that Americans really use when they 'bump their gums' with or without having had some 'sweet spirits o' cats-a-fightin' or 'conversation fluid' to make their chin music happen. The result is a testimonial to the metaphor-making power of the American language at its most vigorous. * Newsweek *To open its pages is to thrill at the exploration of the New World and to trace the course of American history through its language...Its editors, led by Professor Frederic G. Cassidy, have caught the native poetry of America on every page. -- Fred Strebeigh * Smithsonian *A monumental and impressive work. -- Daniel F. Phelan * Language and Linguistics *Because these volumes are the most complete lexical records we have of the American experience, much of the history and contemporary condition of American society can be found in their pages...We are very fortunate to have DARE; it is not a dictionary; it is a national treasure. -- Edward Callary * Language in Society *Here is the big news in the world of lexicography: DARE IV has come out of the wordwork. The Dictionary of American Regional English--repository of the most delicious dialect sources and the most colorful evidence of the Americanization of the English language--has now covered letters P to Sk...[This] is the penultimate (one more to go) volume in the set that no library can afford to absquatulate. -- William Safire * New York Times Magazine *

University of Utah Press,U.S. Lacandon Maya-Spanish-English Dictionary
Book SynopsisAround 1700 AD the Lacandon Maya took refuge in the forest lowlands of Chiapas, Mexico, and in western Petén, Guatemala. They were never conquered by the Spanish and thus maintained many of their cultural practices well into the twentieth century. Their language belongs to the Yucatecan branch of the Maya language, a branch that is believed to have begun to diversify at least one thousand years ago. Today the Lancandon are split into northern and southern linguistic groups. This dictionary focuses on the southern Lacandon of Lacanjá.Following the same trilingual format as Hofling’s Mopan Maya-Spanish-English Dictionary, this reference contains pronunciation and grammatical information. It is a hybrid of a root dictionary and one with words in alphabetical order; words can be looked up in these two different ways, making it easy to use for both native and nonnative speakers. It accommodates Spanish speakers who wish to learn Lacandon and in the future is likely to be helpful to Lacandon- speaking children, who increasingly use Spanish outside the home, while preserving a record of this indigenous language.Trade Review"The grammatical sketch is particularly valuable. No previous publications can compare with the fieldwork and information that Hofling has assembled, and the analysis that he has done. It will be useful, not only to Mayan linguistics, but to linguists in general. It is likewise invaluable to those who study Mayan epigraphy." —Martha J. Macri, Yocha Dehe Chair in California Indian Studies, Department of Native American Studies, University of California, Davis.

University of Massachusetts Press The Translations of Nebrija: Language, Culture,
Book SynopsisIn 1495, the Spanish humanist Antonio de Nebrija published a Spanish-to-Latin dictionary that became a best seller. Over the next century it was revised dozens of times, in nine European cities. As these dictionaries made their way around the globe in this age of encounters, their lists of Spanish words became frameworks for dictionaries of non-Latin languages. What began as Spanish to Latin became Spanish to Arabic, French, English, Tuscan, Nahuatl, Mayan, Quechua, Aymara, Tagalog, and more.Tracing the global influence of Nebrija's dictionary, Byron Ellsworth Hamann, in this interdisciplinary, deeply researched book, connects pagan Rome, Muslim Spain, Aztec Tenochtitlan, Elizabethan England, the Spanish Philippines, and beyond, revealing new connections in world history. The Translations of Nebrija re-creates the travels of people, books, and ideas throughout the early modern world and reveals the adaptability of Nebrija's text, tracing the ways heirs and pirate printers altered the dictionary in the decades after its first publication. It reveals how entries in various editions were expanded to accommodate new concepts, such as for indigenous languages in the Americas -- a process with profound implications for understanding pre-Hispanic art, architecture, and writing. It shows how words written in the margins of surviving dictionaries from the Americas shed light on the writing and researching of dictionaries across the early modern world.Exploring words and the dictionaries that made sense of them, this book charts new global connections and challenges many assumptions about the early modern world.

Liverpool University Press The Liverpool English Dictionary: A Record of the
Book SynopsisKnow someone with an antwacky stem-winder? Heard the Band of Hope Street? Ever been on a vinegar trip? Do you jangle? Ever met a Cunard yank in the Dingle? Could you pay for a dodger with a joey? Have you heard a maccyowler in a jigger? The Liverpool English Dictionary records the rich vocabulary that has evolved over the past century and a half, as part of the complex, stratified, multi-faceted and changing culture of this singular city. With over 2,000 entries from ‘Abbadabba’ to ‘Z-Cars’, the roots/routes, meanings and histories of the words of Liverpool are presented in a concise, clear and accessible format. Born and bred in Liverpool, Professor Tony Crowley has spent over thirty years compiling this bold and innovative dictionary, investigating historical lexicons, sociological studies, works of history, local newspapers, popular cultural representations, and, most importantly, the extensive ‘lost’ literature of the city. Illuminating, often remarkable, and always enjoyable, this book transforms our understanding of the history of language in Liverpool.Trade ReviewReviews 'A serious and quietly affecting work of language study and social history. Tony Crowley has produced a fitting companion to his superb study Scouse. His research into and adventures with the Liverpool lexicon open up windows on to old and new worlds. A Liverpool of sectarian tribes, docks, alehouses, bizzies, jiggers, humour, family, sex, fights and insults gusts through these pages like wind off the river.' Professor Michael O’Neill, Department of English Studies, Durham University'The language of Liverpool has long been recognised as being rather special. Now it has received special recognition in its own very special dictionary. This superb achievement is the result of decades of research by Tony Crowley, who has done a brilliant job of marrying scholarly linguistic erudition with a deep personal knowledge of the dialect. His affection for Scouse and the community which speaks it is obvious on every page; this dictionary on historical principles is not only fascinating and immensely informative but also highly enjoyable.' Peter Trudgill, Université de Fribourg/ University of East Anglia'A model of dialect lexicography. Scouse has never been more thoroughly explored. A fascinating introduction to Liverpool's colourful speech. Liverpudlians will be dead chuffed to read it.' David Crystal, Honorary Professor of Linguistics, University of Bangor, and author of The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language (Cambridge University Press, 1995, 2003) and The Disappearing Dictionary: A Treasury of Lost English Language Dialect Words (Macmillan, 2015).'Scouse was in many respects a truly groundbreaking work, and now he’s written another, the first scholarly dictionary of the language that has been used in Liverpool over the past century and a half. There have of course been collections of Liverpool words and phrases before, such as Fritz Spiegl’s Lern Yerself Scouse books. But Crowley’s is the first attempt at a truly comprehensive glossary, using the same methodology as the Oxford English Dictionary. For each entry the book offers a definition, an account of the origin and history of the word or expression, and examples of its use from carefully cited sources. Time and again, he notes, his dictionary offers up evidence of creativity, humour, irreverence towards authority and a carnivalesque sense of the absurd.' Alan Gardiner, Merseysider Magazine'No one has done more than Tony Crowley to put the study of Liverpool’s language on an academic and noncondescending footing. […] The Liverpool English Dictionary is exhaustively researched and sumptuously documented, every entry a fascinating historical and lexicographical essay in itself.'Times Literary Supplement'It is not only an informative read, but also fun and entertaining. To borrow a phrase from the dictionary itself: it was boss la.'Dr Paul Cooper, University of Liverpool'This text will not only appeal to Liverpool speakers, but anyone interested in Liverpool English or regional variation in England more generally. It is an exceptionally useful text which extensively documents the lexical and grammatical features of a variety of English that has been somewhat under-researched in recent years, and where the existing research predominantly tends to focus on aspects of pronunciation. It is not only an informative read, but also fun and entertaining. To borrow a phrase from the dictionary itself: it was boss la.'
