Slayer Slang: A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Lexicon door Michael Adams
Anyone who loves Buffy and loves language will adore this one.
Suspect I'm not going to get through the remaining appendices anytime soon. As ever with a collection of essays, some high points and some low points. The chapter on languages in games was rather superficial, the chapter on Tolkien was good, the chapters on Cornish and other revived languages was interesting but could have covered more.

comixminx | Apr 5, 2013 | The worst thing I can think of to say about this book is that it's more likely to make a linguist interested in Buffy the Vampire Slayer than it is to make a Buffy fan interested in linguistics. So, if you're coming at this book from a Buffy/pop culture perspective, you may find it somewhat dry. But if you're coming at it from the perspective of someone who loves words and language (like me) you'll find it an interesting case study in slang, word formation, and language change.
Great book about all that interesting and unusual language on Buffy.
