English : a dictionary
Description:
xlii, 275 pages ; 26 cm.
Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"Biff and whiff, baker'
s
fog and lu'sknikn, pie social and milling frolic - just a few examples of the distinctive language of
Cape
Breton
Island
, where a puck is a forceful blow and a
Cape
Breton
pork pie is filled with dates, not pork. The first regional dictionary devoted to the
island
's linguistic and cultural history, this is a fascinating record of the
island
's rich vocabulary. Entries include supporting quotations culled from the editors' extensive interviews with
Cape
Bretoners and considerable study of regional variation, as well as definitions, selected pronunciations, parts of speech, variant forms, related words, sources, and notes, giving the reader in-depth information on every aspect of
Cape
Breton
culture."--Provided by publisher.
