Abstract:
ABSTRACT: On the title page of his Rhyming Dictionary of the English Language (1775), John Walker asserts that the book contains "the whole language […] arranged according to its terminations." In the revised 1924 edition, the editor notes that despite judicious cuts to the entries, "no word has been omitted that could be of any use to the poet." The poet Marianne Moore disagreed. Her copy of the Rhyming Dictionary contains marginalia that no critic has written about, as she inserted words that she found lacking. However, Moore was not the only poet to talk back to Walker's Dictionary . She wa

Abstract:
Rhyming slang (RS) sprang to life in mid-19th century London when it was first recorded by Ducange Anglicus (1857) together with other unusual forms of slang, such as back slang and Polari. In the period of extensive British emigration to the United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, this special type of lexis was also carried around the world — though in much less regular distribution than might have been expected on the basis of shared socioeconomic colonial histories. Three types of development were possible: 1. individual RS items might survive (and possibly acquire n

Abstract:
Even the most cursory browse through any slang dictionary will immediately reveal that rhyming slang is a highly productive category of word-formation in contemporary British and Australian English. However, because of the inextricable difficulty in tracking what is essentially an oral (and often improvisational) phenomenon, dictionaries have typically overlooked rhyming slang items whose use is restricted to specific geographical areas, especially in Ireland and Scotland. Conceived as a sequel and companion piece to a previous study on Scottish rhyming slang by this author (Lillo 2004b), this

Abstract:
There are several varieties of English where rhyming slang is or has been a productive source of new words. However, its incidence in some Englishes still remains, by and large,terra incognitafor slang lexicographers and linguists alike. Based on a number of written sources and oral transcripts, this article surveys the origins and development of rhyming slang in Ireland, its most outstanding characteristics and its productivity throughout the 20th century down to the present. In order to illustrate the significance and creative potential of this category of word-formation in Irish English, th

Abstract:
The article aims to examine the cases of encoding of advertising culturally-determined items (trademarks and brands) that name branded products and manufacturers producing branded products, based on rhyming slang material. The topic is explored through the examples of rhyming slang that reflect advertising items represented by pragmatonyms and ergonyms. The analyzed rhymes are based on company names and brands that are well known to the average British citizen and are included in the so-called “cultural literacy” of the speakers of English linguistic culture. The rhymes are borrowed from dicti

Abstract:
The forms of Chinese classic poetry have been developed through thousands of years of history and are still current in today's poetry society. A re-classification of the rhyming words, however, is necessary to keep the classic poetry up to date in the new settings of modern Chinese language. To ease the transition process, computing technology is used to help the readers as well as poetry writers to check the compliance of poems in accordance with the forms and to compose poems without the effort to learn the old grouping of rhyming words.

Abstract:
Euphemisms for disease created by means of abbreviation and rhyming slang reflect new capabilities of euphemisms. This research is relevant since such euphemisms are widely used and require a more detailed examination. The article aimed to identify some synonymous euphemistic and dysphemistic names from the arsenal of communicatively correct expressions on the topic of health and illness in English, as well as to provide a sociocultural commentary on euphemisms in the form of rhyming slang and abbreviations characterizing two deadly diseases – cancer and AIDS – and such an unpleasant ailment a
