Economou, Steven G. Grenglish: A Lexicon. 2nd ed. Steven G. Economou, 2001.
This self-published book, complete with drawings, is a humorous look at the language developed by those who immigrated to America at the turn of the century. As the author explains: “If they did not know the proper Greek word for something, and also did not know, or feel comfortable with the English word for it …no problem. They simply first phonetically transformed the English wordo suit their speech patterns and then adopted it as their own.” Each “Grenglish” word is accompanied by the author’s poignant remembrance of an event that took place in Chicago between 1925-1960.
