African American
Slang
In this pioneering exploration of African American slang
—
a highly informal
vocabulary and a significant aspect of African American English
—
Maciej
Widawski explores patterns of form, meaning, theme, and function, showing
it to be a rule-governed, innovative, and culturally revealing vernacular.
Widawski s comprehensive description is based on a large database of
contextual citations from thousands of contemporary sources, including lit¬
erature and the press, music, film, and television. It also includes an alphabet¬
ical glossary of
1,500
representative slang expressions, defined and illustrated
by
4,500
usage examples. Due to its vast size, the glossary can stand alone as
a dictionary providing readers with a reliable reference of terms. Combining
scholarship with user-friendliness, this book is an insightful and practical
resource for students and researchers in linguistics and general readers inter¬
ested in exploring lexical variation in contemporary English.
maciej
widawski is a professor of linguistics specializing in lexical
variation and its description. He has conducted research on slang since the
early
1990s
and has written extensively on the subject. His recent books
include The Dictionary of City Names in American Slang
(2011)
and
Yinglish
(2012).
