The book is the first of its kind to trace the development of the Australian accent and the Australian vocabulary of Australian English, and to link these to the major movements in Australian history and culture. Written by the Director of the Australian National Dictionary Centre at ANU, Dr Bruce Moore, the book covers the birth and evolution of the ‘Aussie’ accent, as well as the development of the vocabulary of Australian English. Oxford University Press (OUP) head Dr Henry Reece also used the occasion to announce that OUP was gifting a free online version of the Australian National Dictionary to Australia to mark the publisher's centenary in this country. The Australian National Dictionary is a partnership between OUP and ANU. Broad Topics: Arts and Social Sciences Sub-topics: Language & Linguistics
