Evolving English WordBank : a glossary of present-day English dialect and slang /
Robinson, Jonathan,1964-compiler.
Based on the British Library's 2010 exhibition Evolving English: One Language, Many Voices. Visitors to the Library and the complementary mini exhibitions at six partner libraries across England were encouraged to contribute a voice recording to create a snapshot of spoken English at the start of the 21st century. They could either submit a word or phrase they felt was somehow special in their variety of English (the 'WordBank') or recite a reading passage designed to capture their accent ('the VoiceBank'). This book presents selected items from the WordBank.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 104-109).
