About This Item
(Cape Town: Oxford University Press, 1975) 0195700694. 8vo; original blue and white cloth; dustwrapper; pp. xx + 196. Dustwrapper somewhat browned and very slightly edgeworn; a little foxing. Good to very good condition. "This most unusual and exciting dictionary lists vocabulary, idiom and pronunciation used by English speakers in South Africa; there are many words and phrases common in Southern Africa that are not known elsewhere and the way in which these words and phrases are used is sometimes unique to this area. But this dictionary does not stop at merely giving the derivation and definition of words - it offers guidance as to the acceptability or otherwise of the vocabulary and usage listed." .
