520    What does it mean to talk like an American? According to 
       John Russell Bartlett's 1848 Dictionary of Americanisms, 
       it means indulging in outlandish slang-splendiferous, 
       scrumptious, higgeldy piggedly-and free-and-easy word 
       creation-demoralize, lengthy, gerrymander. American 
       English is more than just vocabulary, though. It's a 
       picturesque way of talking that includes expressions like 
       go the whole hog, and the wild boasts of frontiersman Davy
       Crockett, who claimed to be "half horse, half alligator, 
       and a touch of the airthquake." Splendiferous Speech 
       explores the main sources of the American vernacular-the 
       expanding western frontier, the bumptious world of 
       politics, and the sensation-filled pages of popular 
       nineteenth-century newspapers. It's a process that started
       with the earliest English colonists (first word adoption-
       the Algonquian raccoon) and is still going strong today. 
       Author Rosemarie Ostler takes listeners along on the 
       journey as Americans learn to declare linguistic 
       independence and embrace their own brand of speech. For 
       anyone who wonders how we got from the English of King 
       James to the slang of the Internet, it's an exhilarating 
       ride.
