Description

Strupac, fornenst, trappy, scriss, kippy, snool, flying axehandles, from across - these and hundreds of other colourful words and phrases give the English language as it has been spoken in Canada's smallest province a flavour all its own. T.K. Pratt makes a major scholarly contribution to the growing list of regional dictionaries that enable us to discover the rich heritage of the language as spoken throughout North America; at the same time it offers a splendid general introduction to the historical and sociological life of the island. 192p. bibliography
