Von der hinteren Coverseite

This is the book everyone had waited for. Here, in one convenient, comprehensive volume, is the complete story of the word still considered the most vulgar utterance in the English language. Rather than tired cliches or graceless jokes, The F-Word contains page after page of actual, uncensored examples of the word in all its varied and robust use, from its first appearance in English in the fifteenth century.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 3rd Edition. 3rd edition, 1st Oxford printing. 270pp. Foreword by Lewis Black. First published in 1995 by Random House. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "In a thoroughly updated edition of his acclaimed THE F-WORD, renowned linguist Jesse Sheidlower--the Oxford English Dictionary's Editor at Large--offers a rich, revealing look at the F-bomb and its illimitable uses. [] Since the fifteenth century, no other word has been adapted, interpreted, euphemized, censored, and shouted with as much ardor or force; imagine Dick Cheney telling Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy to 'go damn himself' on the Senate floor--it doesn't have quite the same impact as what was really said. Sheidlower cites this and many other notorious examples throughout history, from the satiric sixteenth-century poetry of James Cranstoun to the bawdy parodies of Lord Rochester in the seventeenth century, to more recent uses by Ernest Hemingway, Jack Kerouac, Anthony Bourdain, Junot Diaz, Jenna Jameson, Amy Winehouse, Jon Stewart, and Bono (whose use of the word at the Grammys nearly got him fined by the FCC). [] This new edition is twice the size of the previous edition, with over one hundred new entries. Thousands of added examples come from newly available electronic databases and the resources of the OED, expanding the range of quotations to cover British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Irish, and South African uses in addition to American ones. A fascinating introductory essay explores the word's history, reputation, and changing popularity over time. [] Oxford dictionaries have won renown for their expansive, historical approach to words and their etymologies. THE F-WORD offers all that and more in an entertaining and informative look at a word that, while now largely accepted as an integral part of the English language, still confounds, provokes, and scandalizes." [jacket copy] "A scholarly publisher of worldwide prestige has blessed this most sacred, most descriptive, most moving of all words."--Lewis Black. "When there is a word that means this much, a single word that can get the Supreme Court of the United States of America to talk for hours about what a pop singer meant when he said it. We need to know all we can about that word."--Penn Jillette. "A must for anyone interested in the most notorious of English obscenities. This is not one of those pro forma 'revisions' that correct a few errors, toss in a few added items, and add a new preface; the text of the dictionary is twice as large as the second edition, over a hundred new words and senses have been added, and it now aims to cover the entire English-speaking world. This book makes me proud to be a part of a civilization that could produce such a thing."--Stephen Dodson, The Millions. "Sheidlower's THE F-WORD has provided inordinate delight and distraction from my normal working day."--The New Yorker. Pristine hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright, unashamed-as-new jacket. Artikel-Nr. RUB2909
