Exploring Australian English, Wilkes G.A., 1986.
This booklet grew from a series of talks given over ABC radio in 1985 under the title ‘Exploring Australian English’. The response to the programs led me to think of a more extended treatment of the subject, which might still preserve the informal approach of the broadcast script. The topics are taken in broadly chronological order, although the treatment of contemporary usage ranges more freely. Each section can be read as a self-contained unit. This book has been a pleasant one to write. I am grateful to Helen Findlay and Georgina Bitcon for their expert help, and to Wilma Sharp for her care with the typescript.
Is ‘Australian English’ a contradiction in terms?
One of my colleagues, visiting England for the first time in the 1960s, was moved to comment “They made their mistake over 150 years ago. They should have left the convicts there, and moved out themselves’. He was referring mainly to the weather and the standard of living. But we may need to confront another culture before we realize the individuality of our own. An Australian in England, concluding a conversation with ‘It’s after 5.30. I'll have to shoot through,’ found the other party bemused, puzzled at the reference to firearms. On the other hand, new arrivals in Australia cannot. understand why a red-headed person should be nicknamed Blue or Bluey. As red and blue are such distinct colours, this is not easy to explain—in fact you’ve got two chances of explaining it, your own and Buckley’s.
