AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Diggerspeak : The Language of Australians at War is the first attempt to collect the words that were integral to the conflicts in which Australians served from the colonial wars in Africa to the Vietnam War. The dictionary reflects the many lexical innovations and contributions made by Australians during wartime, as well as using key terms to reveal the nature of wartime experience. http://www.abc.net.au/rn/arts/ling/stories/s1349456.htm (Sighted 30/06/2005).
