How the Irish Invented Slang
by Daniel Cassidy
The Secret Language
of the Crossroads
Irish Americans especially will be delighted to know, they
have been speaking Irish all along in their slang and
American English, while believing and bemoaning that they
had lost their native tongue many years ago. With
imagination and scholarship, Cassidy has restored this
hidden treasure to us in a book that is filled with
revelations, wit and humor.
~ Bob Scally, Professor Emeritus, New York University,
author, The End of Hidden Ireland.
~ John Rickford ~ Cassidy's book is wonderful.

Spoken Soul: The Story of Black English by John R. Rickford,
Russell J. Rickford (Contributor)
Spoken Soul: The Story of Black English by
John R. Rickford, Russell J. Rickford (Contributor)
John R. Rickford is the Martin Luther King Centennial
Professor of Linguistics and African and Afro-American Studies
at Stanford University.
"That mainstream English is essential to our self-preservation
is indisputable . . . but it is not necessary to abandon
Spoken Soul to master Standard English, any more than it is
necessary to abandon English to learn French or to deprecate
jazz to appreciate classical music."
