Short Cuts: A Guide to Oaths, Ring Tones, Ransom Notes, Famous Last Words, and Other Forms of Minimalist Communication
Humez, Alexander (co-author of ON THE DOT, co-author of ON THE DOT, PhD in Indo-European Linguistics)
Our everyday lives are inevitably touched--and immeasurably enriched--by an extraordinary variety of miniature forms of verbal communication, from classified ads to street signs, and from yesterday's graffito to tomorrow's headline. Short Cuts offers a well-researched and vibrantly written account of minimalist speech.
