Abstract
A DICTIONARY of slang may, at first sight; seem to have no special message for readers of NATUBE, but it is impossible to turn over the pages of Mr. Partridge's monumental work without realizing how many important and perplexing problems, philological, psychological and social, are raised in the pages of this dictionary. The book provides data that will be eagerly seized on by the students of many sciences. A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English: Slang, including the Language of the Underworld, Colloquialisms and Catch-phrases, Solecisms and Catachreses, Nicknames, Vulgarisms, and such Americanisms as have been naturalized. By Eric Partridge. Second edition, revised and enlarged. Pp. xviii + 1051. (London: George Routledge and Sons, Ltd., 1938.) 42s. net.
