Australians have exhibited an attachment to the sounds, vocabulary, axioms and metaphors that make up vernacular. Through an investigation of the way we write and talk Graham Seal reveals our cultural identity to be inseparable from our colloquial language. |
| Synopsis: |
A lively linguistic analysis of our distinctive forms of speech drawn from a range of everyday experiences, including work, relaxation, gambling, drinking, family life, sport, crime, war, politics and sexual relations. |
