The Bloomsbury Dictionary of Rhyming Slangs

By Terry Victor and Antonio Lillo

The "Bloomsbury" "Dictionary of Rhyming Slangs" provides a comprehensive and authoritative record of the variant rhyming slangs used in the Anglophone world. The dictionary specifically records social, regional and local variation within the UK alongside an up to date survey of rhyming slangs used in World Englishes at large. It builds upon previous work in the area and establishes a rigorous and authoritative account of the hugely imaginative way that rhyme is used within slangs and argot speech. It stresses accuracy and provability alongside its diversity.This is an academically rigorous work that is both accessible and scholarly. In the manner of the" New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English" this is a dictionary with authority and a personality.
