Download or read book Winchester Notions written by Charles Stevens and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1998 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winchester College, founded in 1382, possesses the richest and best-recorded slang (its 'Notions') of any such institution. This dictionary, originally completed in the 1960s by C G Stevens, a Scholar of the College (1917-22), and now newly-edited, is the fullest available account. It provides an insight into the history, customs and traditions of the oldest of the English public schools. Altogether, this volume is a unique work of linguistic and institutional history, fascinating in its detail and for the light it throws on the life and culture of a great and ancient school.

Book Synopsis 19th Century Winchester College Notion Book Illustrations from the Winchester College Archives by : Herbert Evelyn Campbell
Download or read book 19th Century Winchester College Notion Book Illustrations from the Winchester College Archives written by Herbert Evelyn Campbell and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Winchester Notions are well understood to every graduate of Winchester College. A 1901 book on the subject ["Winchester Notions" by the Three Beetleities] defines them as ". . . all traditions and customs peculiar to Winchester, or elsewhere used in a different sense; and finally, the names which have been given to certain places by past generations of Wykehamists."This is a selective presentation of the Winchester Notions, and is in no sense comprehensive. The emphasis is on illustrations, rather than strictly words and definitions. The Winchester College Archives contains over sixty handwritten Notion books, with the earliest dating to 1838. It is safe to say that most Winchester scholars wrote their own notion dictionary as a way of learning them. There was a test! While not official to the College, the test was taken very seriously but the scholars.There are a dozen or so printed books/dictionaries/wordlists pertaining to the notions. The most comprehensive and authoritative of these is Winchester Notions by Charles Stevens, published by The Athlone Press in 1998.The material presented here has been chosen with two purposes in mind: that a book emphasizing notion illustrations has not been published previously, and secondly, that the images, in and of themselves, will appeal to the general reader with an interest in Winchester, as well as to Wykehamists.

Download or read book Slang written by Michael Adams and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slang, writes Michael Adams, is poetry on the down low, and sometimes lowdown poetry on the down low, but rarely, if ever, merely lowdown. It is the poetry of everyday speech, the people's poetry, and it deserves attention as language playing on the cusp of art. In Slang: The People's Poetry, Adams covers this perennially interesting subject in a serious but highly engaging way, illuminating the fundamental question "What is Slang" and defending slang--and all forms of nonstandard English--as integral parts of the American language. Why is an expression like "bed head" lost in a lexical limbo, found neither in slang nor standard dictionaries? Why are snow-boarding terms such as "fakie," "goofy foot," "ollie" and "nollie" not considered slang? As he addresses these and other lexical curiosities, Adams reveals that slang is used in part to define groups, distinguishing those who are "down with it" from those who are "out of it." Slang is also a rebellion against the mainstream. It often irritates those who color within the lines--indeed, slang is meant to irritate, sometimes even to shock. But slang is also inventive language, both fun to make and fun to use. Rather than complain about slang as "bad" language, Adams urges us to celebrate slang's playful resistance to the commonplace and to see it as the expression of an innate human capacity, not only for language, but for poetry.
