THE FUTURE OF AUSSIE ENGLISH; ACKNOWLEDGMENTS; BIBLIOGRAPHY; INDEXThe English language arrived in Australia with the first motley bunch of European settlers on 26 January 1788. Today there is clearly a distinctive Australian regional dialect with its own place among the global family of 'Englishes'. How did this come about? Where did the distinctive pattern, accent, and verbal inventions that make up Aussie English come from? A lively narrative, this book tells the story of the birth, rise and triumphant progress of the colourful dingo lingo that we know today as Aussie English.Kel Richards talks about The Story of Australian English on the Today ShowEnglish languageDialectsAustraliaHistoryEnglish languageAustraliaHistoryAustralianismsEnglish languageDialectsHistory.English languageHistory.Australianisms.427.00994Richards Kel1946-1488626MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787413003321The story of Australian English3708906UNINA
