Book Synopsis The Aussie Slang Dictionary by : FRANK. POVAH
Download or read book The Aussie Slang Dictionary written by FRANK. POVAH and published by Australian Geographic. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian English has always been rich in slang and dialect words, many of which - dinkum for example - came out from Great Britain with the convicts and their meanings and pronunciation changed. Words from Indigenous languages, such as boomerang, began to be adopted and modified almost from the very first - and English words and phrases such as dead-finish were taken into Aboriginal languages, modified and loaned back to the English speakers. As time went by, words still in common use in Australia were no longer current in their country of origin, and so became Australianised.

These words are very much Australian and are obviously almost incomprehensible for a speaker of English language from other parts of the world.They use their slang terms and expressions so frequently that a non-Australian just remains a mute listener. He feels as if the speakers are using some kind of code language. Such slang words and slang expressions are frequently used by Australian sports commentators and actors in Australian movies. "Strine" is the other word that Australians use for 'slang.' In this dictionary we have included hundreds of Australian slang words and expressions with their definition, meanings, and use. We hope you will find this book very helpful to understand the Australian colloquial language.All the bestStudent World
