Title: The Patter
Review: The Patter was conceived as a defining guide to the language of the big bad beautiful city of Glasgow. The language is that heard in the city's homes and streets, often on television and radio, and sometimes read in books, magazines or newspapers: the contemporary urban Scots dialect of Glasgow.Glaswegian speech has been much maligned or mocked, but the author maintains that it is a rich, vital and valid regional dialect which gives a true reflection of the city and its inhabitants with all their unattractive features, such as deprivation, bigotry, pugnacity, but with all their virtues too - robust and irreverant humour, resillience and abhorence of pretension.While The Patter has the serious intention of recording the language it hopes to entertain the native as well as enlighten the foreigner: the definitions and examples are frequently humorous - though always accurate - and are considerably enhanced by David Nelson'd cdistinctive cartoons.--- from book's back cover
