Laugesen, Amanda - Convict Words: Language in Early Colonial Australia

This dictionary is the first dictionary to document the words that shaped this language, a language that in itself helped to shape the nation. It captures the 'mythic' convict Australia: the lags, canaries, and magpies; floggings and treadmills; bellowsers and traps; absconders and bushrangers. There is also the more prosaic language of bureaucracy and administration: ticket of leave, absolute and conditional emancipations, and certificates of freedom. Convict Words is an essential reference work for all those interested in this period of Australian history.
