Routledge & Kegan Paul, London, (1984).. 327 pp, large 8vo (9 15/16" H), hard cover in dust jacket. "This French-English dictionary of slang and colloquialisms is designed to bridge the gap between the kind of standard French taught in schools, colleges and universities, and the informal . language that visitors to France are likely to be confronted with in everyday life...Wherever possible (the authors) have contextualised words and expressions within complete sentences in both languages thus avoiding the dangerous pitfall of assigni. ng such arbitrary labels as 'vulgar', 'obscene', etc. In addition to the wealth of illustrative examples drawn from the authors' linguistic experience, the dictionary includes a great deal of encyclopaedic material of interest to readers beyond . s i m ple word-equivalents. Readers will therefore undoubtedly be encouraged to go beyond mere consultation and enjoy a casual browse, and come to realise that colloquial language, be it French or English, is fun and endlessly fascinating." Previo. us o wn ers name on first page, tiny bump on top edge of front board. Dust jacket has minor rubbing, light wrinkling at top of spine and bottom of rear flap-fold, soft crease at top of front panel. VG+/VG.
