Summary :
FROM paddy wagon to rush hour, New York City has given us many of our popular words and phrases. Often imitated and just as often ridiculed, New York English has its own identity, imbued with the rich cultural history of (as New Yorkers tell it) the greatest city in the world. How did this unique language community develop, and how has it shaped the city as we know it today? In You Talkin' to Me? E. J. White explores the hidden history of English in New York City-a history that encompasses social class, immigration, culture, economics, and, of course, real estate. She tells entertaining stories of New York's most famous characters, streets, and cultural institutions, from Broadway to the newspaper office to the department store, illuminating a new dimension of the city's landscape. Full of little-known facts (for example, C-3PO was originally meant to have a New York accent) the book will delight lovers of language and history alike.
