Originalleinen. Condition: Gut. XVIII; 766 S., 23,5 cm. Gutes Ex.; berieben; leichte Gebrauchsspuren. - Englisch. - THE FIRST EDITION of the Dictionary of American Slang, published in 1960, was in preparation for more than ten years. The late Dr. Harold Wentworth compiled a vast number of entries, chiefly regionalisms and colloquialisms, on which he had become a well-known authority with the publication of his American Dialect Dictionary. To this material Stuart Berg Flexner added thousands of slang definitions from the recent and contemporary worlds of the prohibition era, the underworld, jazz, the Armed Forces, business, politics, various fields of entertainment, teenagers, and the beat generation. He also included those derogatory and taboo words that form such a significant part of everyday speech, and which, although they appear with increasing frequency in current writing, seldom find their way into standard dictionaries. Mr. Flexner prepared the Appendix and was ultimately responsible for the final redefining and editing of all the entries. He also wrote two sections of the book which have generated almost as much critical acclaim as the dictionary proper: the Preface, which contains a provocative discussion on the sociocultural factors that influence the creation of a slang vocabulary; and the Introduction to the Appendix, which analyzes the linguistic processes involved in the formation of new slang terms. .
