Table of ContentsReviewsThe foremost achievement of the four completed volumes of Coleman's History of Cant and Slang Dictionaries is simply that they offer an accurate and comprehensive survey of so much material, and make sense of such complex traditions... A notice of the first voluem in Language (Farquharson 2007) called it 'a treasure trove of exemplary research': so it is, but it is also a treasure map, which will guide all work in the field for the forseeable future. John Considine, Historiographia Linguistica 38:3 Author InformationJulie Coleman is Professor of English Language at the University of Leicester and and founder of the Leicester English Grammar Project.
