Subject: more on gay lingo



A few days ago, Kathleen M. O'Neill asked about publications dealing with the

unique aspects of the speech of gays (if there are any). Did anyone think to

mention william Leap's new book, WORD'S OUT: GAY MEN'S ENGLISH (U of

Minnesota Press, 1996; ISBN#0-8166-2253-1)? Also useful should be the

articles in BEYOND THE LAVENDER LEXICON, ed. William L. Leap (Gordon and

Breach Publishing, 1995; ISBN#2-88449-181-3).
