Sobre IBD

''A General Dictionary Of Provincialisms'' is a book written by William Holloway in 1839. The book aims to preserve the disappearing linguistic relics of the past by documenting the local dialects and colloquialisms of various regions of England. The dictionary includes words and phrases that are specific to certain areas and are not commonly used in standard English. The author provides definitions, etymologies, and examples of usage for each entry. The book is a valuable resource for linguists, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of the English language. It is a testament to the diversity and richness of the English language and the importance of preserving linguistic heritage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
