Ebook: Swahili-English slang pocket-dictionary

Wien - Dar es Salaam.: Beiträge zur Afrikanistik, 1987. — 47 р.The Dictionary chiefly comprises terms employed for three reasons: a) to 'jargoozle' (confuse), a listener, foreign in the given in-group, b) to emotionally signify an object and c) to euphemistically denote an object.
It happens that the scope of a term is blurred. In such cases it is sometimes difficult to classify it as a term belonging to slang, jargon or cant, since scopes are often overlapping. Therefore in doubtful cases, for example football jargon, the term is treated as a slang form.
