Preface
Differences within a language arise mainly from separation. Groups
of speakers of a language become separated either regionally or socially.
The varieties of the language they speak then evolve in their own ways.
If the separation continues, the varieties may change enough to become
different languages. For example, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian
were all at one time varieties of Latin, but they are now discrete languages.
If, however, the differences are not great enough to prevent mutual
intelligibility, the varieties may be called dialects of the same language.
The English language today, which is spoken as a first language by
over three hundred million people, has hundreds of varieties within it.
The four major varieties of English are British, American, Australian
and Canadian English. Each of these major varieties of English has
within it features of vocabulary, grammar, and sound that set it apart
from the other varieties; yet each also contains sub-varieties, the special
usages of smaller regional and social groups. Strictly speaking, if a variety
of language has recognizable features that set it apart, it may be called
a dialect. But for clarification we shall use the term dialect for the sub-
varieties only. The methods of studying these differences within a language
apply to all varieties, both large and small.
The specific variety of English is best illustrated by the vocabulary,
for there are hundreds of words which are native to the country, where
this variety of English is spoken, or which have meanings peculiar to
it. As might be expected, many of these words refer to topographical
features, plants, trees, fish, animals and birds; and many others to
social, economic and political institutions and activities.
The purpose of this dictionary is to provide a generous sampling of
words and expressions characteristic of the various spheres of life in the
USA, Great Britain, Australia and Canada during the last centuries. The

Preface
Differences within a language arise mainly from separation. Groups
of speakers of a language become separated either regionally or socially.
The varieties of the language they speak then evolve in their own ways.
If the separation continues, the varieties may change enough to become
different languages. For example, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian
were all at one time varieties of Latin, but they are now discrete languages.
If, however, the differences are not great enough to prevent mutual
intelligibility, the varieties may be called dialects of the same language.
The English language today, which is spoken as a first language by
over three hundred million people, has hundreds of varieties within it.
The four major varieties of English are British, American, Australian
and Canadian English. Each of these major varieties of English has
within it features of vocabulary, grammar, and sound that set it apart
from the other varieties; yet each also contains sub-varieties, the special
usages of smaller regional and social groups. Strictly speaking, if a variety
of language has recognizable features that set it apart, it may be called
a dialect. But for clarification we shall use the term dialect for the sub-
varieties only. The methods of studying these differences within a language
apply to all varieties, both large and small.
The specific variety of English is best illustrated by the vocabulary,
for there are hundreds of words which are native to the country, where
this variety of English is spoken, or which have meanings peculiar to
it. As might be expected, many of these words refer to topographical
features, plants, trees, fish, animals and birds; and many others to
social, economic and political institutions and activities.
The purpose of this dictionary is to provide a generous sampling of
words and expressions characteristic of the various spheres of life in the
USA, Great Britain, Australia and Canada during the last centuries. The

Preface Ïðåäèñëîâèå

dictionary also features a collection of slang and colloquial expressions

in frequent use in these four countries in the twentieth century.
An Americanism, Briticism, Australianism or Canadianism is a word,
expression, or meaning which is native to the USA, Great Britain,
Australia or Canada or which is distinctly characteristic of their usage
in these countries though not necessarily exclusive to them.
Many indeed are the processes of change by which the vocabulary
has grown - by borrowing, by compounding, by shortening, by blending,
by the generalization of proper names, and by new coinages; moreover Ïðåäèñëîâèå
