What is a slang vocabulary and why it occurs?

jargon lexicon in Russian language has long been a common phenomenon.But many people, hearing this phrase, immediately think of the criminal terms that the ordinary person is not immediately clear.But the example of jargon can be found in everyday life.And there, by the way, much more.

What jargon lexicon

Before we consider an example of jargon, you should understand that this is a terminology.So, these are the words that are used only in a particular social group.They can be combined a profession, specialty, interests, age, general views, etc.In other words, speaking in Russian slang - is a completely separate question, which can be understood only by certain people.And based on the fact that social groups today there is a huge set, and jargon, respectively, are also thriving.

Types jargons

It should be noted that today the example of jargon can be found in almost every sphere of activity.They occur in almost any group, which is moderately stable.For example, you can watch the jargon in the speech of schoolchildren, students, soldiers, musicians, athletes, alcoholics, criminals, etc.As you can see - the social "spread" is large enough.Needless to say, the jargon can confidently be called even the expression of the intelligentsia - and this is right.After all, their expressions are clear only to them, and they are not formed from scratch.So everything is fair.

Popular word

Many people do not even know that they use slang words.They are so firmly established in our lives that have become quite normal and acceptable expressions and we pronounce them without hesitation.Take as an example of it students or students.The word "fizre," "couple," "fizichka" "stipuha," "strain," "clear," "not cut", etc.- All this we hear on a daily basis and understand the meaning of these expressions.

However, there are the words "stronger".We are talking about the jargon of people involved with the criminal sphere.Or, as it is called, "thug".Perhaps the most frequent word in this sphere - a "zone".It somehow just heard each.It does it, as you could see prison.By the way, in fairness it should be noted that the criminal slang thieves and the richest of all.It really is a separate language."Fart" (luck), "Kent" (a close friend), "Olive" (Bullet), "Kipishnut" (indignant) "Zhigan" (desperate) - these words much more.It is not necessary to go deeply into their meaning - and so you can understand that the "language" that is really difficult.

emotionality

worth noting that slang, examples of words which were discussed above, differ in some features.To whatever sphere they belong to, they share one thing - a high level of expressiveness.Many slang appeared due to the fact that it was necessary to come up with a word, aptly describes a particular situation (or person).When there is no standard expressions that would pass all the emotional level of enthusiasm or disapproval.It must be as emotional - is the main characteristic of jargon.For example, the phrase "What Impact?", Uttered with appropriate intonation, sounds much more serious than, "What are you doing?".By the way, quite a vivid example of jargon.

More This vocabulary is different much greater variability and mobility.Also slang rather quickly die - they are replaced by other new expressions.For example, youth slang 60s virtually disappeared - Today the young people speak a completely different way.

Formation jargon

So, the reason why there are such expressions - is understandable, but how they are formed?In fact, very simple.The first way - by borrowing.For example, in our modern language it's the word "Man" (woman, man), "feng" (a fan, bowed), "People" (people, society), etc.As you can guess, of the words taken from the English language.

More often just take and rethink some word of the whole people.For example, the word "buzz" - it means "to drink."Why this expression?Because it is very well emphasizes the length of the process.
There is also another popular method comprising derivation.There is such a word as "baldet" (enjoy).Hence the slang "baldezh" (pleasure).And there are still a lot of examples.

jargon has always been and will continue to exist.This vocabulary is all the time interacts with the popular language "snatched" out of him certain expressions and transforming them in his own way.The most important thing - to know the measure used similar words.Still, do not get too often pollute his speech such expressions.Otherwise, the purity of our mighty Russian language will have to forget, if you pass on all the lingo.
