Classics of Slang and Jargon (10 Items)
per page
Dictionaries of slang (called jargon before 1700, sometimes baptised "green tongue" after 1850) and works in which slang is a major characteristic are too often unknown to researchers in literature, linguistics and lexicography and all the more unfamiliar to the general public. The collection Classics of Slang and Jargon allows access to such works by means of rigorous critical editions bearing substantial commentary.
