Book Details
Know your camikini from your kitten heel? Prefer your bling-bling to your biscuit? Listen to electroclash or foxcore? Live with a blogging screenager or a silver surfer suffering from wapathy? Or are you simply %-)? The Language Report is the ultimate record of what we're saying and how we're saying it. From street slang to rhyming slang; from sporting language to cyberspeak; from text talk to the language of war, it's an enlightening collection of intriguing facts and observations compiled with evidence from the world's largest language monitoring program at Oxford University Press. Entertaining and informative, it is compulsive reading for anyone who wants to know what everyone else is talking about.
