Title: Useful Articles By Kate Burridge :)

*** VERY USEFUL Articles By Kate Burridge! ***

Hey guys,
 
I was doing a casual search on Google News for the term ‘Australianisms’ and this article came up: http://theconversation.com/slanguage-and-dinky-di-aussie-talk-in-elections-59967 (PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE FIRST BEFORE CONTINUING).
 
I started reading this and realised this article is full of GOLD peculiar to Unit 4 AOS 1 – a lot of the examples referenced in this article are great for your essays.

“Pollies use Australian slang to draw “fairness”, “honesty” and “authenticity” (e.g. fair go, fair dinkum) into public discussions. Recall when Tony Abbott promised a “fair dinkum paid parental leave scheme” in his 2010 and 2013 election speeches – and in every budget reply speech from 2010 to 2012.”

Enjoy!
Dmitri
