Word Watching

Field Notes from an Amateur Philologist

Julian Burnside
Intended as ‘harmless play in the richness of our language’ Julian Burnside’s 56 essays delve into the nooks and crannies of English – among them the lexicography of animals, the appropriation (or misappropriation) of scientific terms such as quantum leap and cyber-, and words ending in -ful – and the sometimes devious use of the language’s richness and ambiguities.
