5.0 out of 5 stars The Dictionary of Americanisms by Mathews 29 Dec 2005
By Dr. Joseph S. Maresca - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This is the perfect book for the journalist or writer in your home. It will appeal to a wide constituency of academicians.

In essence, the author shows how American linguistics contributed to the English language development over the years.

For instance, the word alumnus is defined as a graduate of a

college. Its earliest use was traced to Sewall in 1696.

There are pictures throughout the volume. i.e. the Baltimore Clipper fascia together with an extensive description.

The work concludes with a fairly comprehensive bibliography.

This would be a good purchase for the academician in your house.
