内容説明
If you stumble over your new mat in the passage, what science are you shown to have neglected? - Pneumatics. Charades, hangman, anagrams, tongue-twisters, and new for this edition, games based on text messaging: dozens of fun and fiendish word games jostle for space in this updated edition of Tony Augarde's classic guide. From the highbrow riddle to the lowly pun, "The Oxford Guide to Word Games" provides a comprehensive history of verbal wit and wordplay. Organized thematically, the book examines twenty-six forms of word game in absorbing detail, including their history, and provides entertaining examples throughout. From Scrabble and Spoonerisms, Crosswords and Chronograms to Playing with Poetry, neither the crossword addict nor the student of linguistics and lexicography will be able to resist!
