Summary

Gayle: the language of Kinks & Queens is a fascinating analysis and historical overview of the development of the gay language, Gayle, in South Africa. This book includes not only a dictionary of the words used in Gayle, but also an historical record of the language, its development, its form and its various functions, none of which have been documented before and little of which information has previously been made publicly available.

Ken Cage completed an MA degree in applied linguistics at the Rand Afrikaans University where he did his dissertation on the form and function of gay men's speech patterns in South Africa.
