The Dictionary of Newfoundland English, first published in 1982 to regional, national and international acclaim, is a historical dictionary that gives the pronunciations and definitions for words that the editors have called "Newfoundland English". The varieties of English spoken in Newfoundland date back four centuries, mainly to the early seventeenth century migratory English fishermen of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset, and to the seventeenth to the nineteenth century immigrants chiefly from south-eastern Ireland. Culled from a vast reading of books, newspapers and magazines, this book is the most sustained reading ever undertaken of the written words of this province. The dictionary gives not only the meaning of words, but also presents each word with its variant spellings. Moreover, each definition is succeeded by an all-important quotation of usage which illustrates the typical context in which word is used. This well-researched, impressive work of scholarship illustrates how words and phrases have evolved and are used in everyday speech and writing in a specific geographical area. The Dictionary of Newfoundland English is one of the most important, comprehensive and thorough works dealing with Newfoundland. Its publication, a great addition to Newfoundlandia, Canadiana and lexicography, provides more than a regional lexicon. In fact, this entertaining and delightful book presents a panoramic view of the social, cultural and natural history, as well as the geography and economics, of the quintessential lifestyle of one of Canada's oldest European-settled areas. This second edition contains a Supplement offering approximately 1500 new or expanded entries, an increase of more than 30 per cent over the first edition. Besides new words, the Supplement includes modified and additional senses of old words and fresh derivations and usages.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket As Issued. First Edition. Signed by author upon verso of title page. "Here we have the life of an average man, one who is not particularly noted as a performer, as a singer or storyteller might be, but who, at the age of seventy-four, decided to set down on paper some of the facts and experiences stored in his memory during his lifetime. As one of the oldest men now living who were born and bred in Harbour Buffett his knowledge of the history of the community is not only extensive but unique. His account is as frank and factual as it is vivid. He shares with many Newfoundlanders the strong sense of place, of belonging, both to the island and to his community." - Preface. xii, 262 p. Footnotes. Profusely illustrated in black and white with maps, diagrams, reproductions of archival photos, graphs, tables and facsimiles of documents. Average wear. Binding intact. A sound example. ; Memorial University Folklore and Language Archive, Community Studies No. 1; 8vo; Signed by Author. …
