Partridge wrote widely on matters concerning the English language. He did not, by any means, restrict his interest to matters slang and unconventional; however, it is his work in this area that had, and continues to have, the greatest impact, and on which his reputation is most celebrated. He wrote more than forty books in his lifetime, considering such diverse topics as abbreviations, American tramp and underworld slang, British and American English since 1900, comic alphabets, English and American Christian names, Shakespeare’s bawdy, usage and abusage, and he contributed to many, many more. It is so substantial a body of work that any list short of a full bibliography will inevitably do his great achievement a disservice. He was a philologist, etymologist, lexicographer, essayist and dictionary-maker; he is a legend and an inspiration. The flavour, and wisdom, of Partridge’s work is gathered in the quotations that follow, loosely grouped by subject, and presented under sub-headings that make new use of a selection of his book and article titles.

The Oxford Dictionary of Allusions
Publisher: Oxford University Press | 2001 | Pages: 471 | PDF | English | ISBN-10: 0198600313 | 7.34 MB
Allusions give us a marvelous literary shorthand, drawing on our
collective knowledge of literature, mythology, and the Bible to help us
describe people, places, feelings, and events. A miser is a Scrooge, a
strong man is a Samson or a Hercules, a beautiful woman is a Venus or a
modern-day Helen of Troy. We can suffer like Sisyphus or linger like the
smile of the Cheshire Cat.
Ranging from classical mythology to modern movies and TV shows, this new
reference work explains the meanings of the allusions in use in modern
English, from Abaddon to Zorro, Tartarus to Tarzan, and Rubens to Rambo.
Based on an extensive reading program that has identified the most
commonly used allusions, this fascinating volume includes numerous
quotations to illustrate usage, from a range of authors and sources,
from Thomas Hardy and Charles Dickens to Bridget Jones's Diary.
Moreover, the dictionary is thematically structured, so that readers not
only can look up Medea to find out who she was and how her name is used
as an allusion, but also can look up the theme of "Revenge" and find,
alongside Medea, entries for other figures used to allude to revenge,
such as The Furies or The Count of Monte Cristo.

13 Secrets for Speaking Fluent Japanese
Publisher: Kodansha International | 1999 | Pages : 96 | PDF | English | ISBN-13 : 978-4770023025 | 46.51 MB
13 Secrets for Speaking Fluent Japanese presents tested shortcuts for
Japanese language acquisition. Identifying two groups of people who
actively and effectively study Japanese to the point of fluency
--successful non-native learners and Japanese children --Giles Murray
has collected from both groups the most rewarding and universal
techniques which can be put to immediate use by both beginner and
advanced students of Japanese.
This book is designed for people who have tried orthodox textbooks and
failed, people who know a little Japanese but don't have the necessary
time or motivation to make the transition to more serious textbooks, and
people seeking to increase fluency using ability already acquired. It
introduces new strategies for thinking, speaking and memorizing Japanese
quickly, efficiently and independently. Used in tandem with a
mainstream textbook, these strategies will enable any student to apply
what they have learned in the classroom to real-life situations, and to
speak without hesitation in natural and fluent Japanese.
