| Abstract | [Introduction]: Australian English has been profoundly affected by Australia's participation in war. This dictionary reveals how much the experience has contributed to the Australian lexicon. From the few contributions through campaigning in the veldt of South Africa in the Boer War, to the enormous contributions of the experience of the First World War, war has given Australian English many of its distinctive words. |
