Russian language is, in principle, the language of any nation, rich and powerful, vivid and comprehensive.To indicate the same phenomenon or concepts in it, as a rule, there are several linguistic units.Lexicology - interesting branch of linguistics.It was there in the most complete form of recorded history and culture of the nation and the state.
Lexicon and its sublevels
entire vocabulary, t. E. Vocabulary of a language, depending on the scope of use is divided into several layers, the boundaries between them enough shaky.Some groups of words are almost constantly in action and form an active part of our speech.Others form of its liability.Lexicon obeys certain rules - grammatical and semantic.In this regard, the question arises, what is slang.
concept is rather complex, heterogeneous.Linguists do not have a strict, unambiguous definition of the term.As well as what kind of linguistic units is required to be classified in this sub-section, and what - no.What is Slang: only if spoken, irregular style of speech, or it can include artistic, too?These and many other related issues caused heated debate among specialists.Let's try to understand them and us.
Determination
One of the definitions of what Slang, reads as follows: it is a specific set of newly tokens or transfer existing additional shades of meaning, which used a limited circle of persons, and the rest of the carriers of incomprehensible language.In connection with this release Slang professional, social groups, age, and so on. D. The term was coined not so long ago, in the early 19th century and came to us from the English language.What is the slang terms of the British lexicographers?A special type of language that is wedged in the literary speech, leaving her in her unattractive marks.Of course, the definition is figurative, but a lot of truth in it is.
«Foreign» blotches
If we trace how changing with time requirements of speech, it can be found with surprise that a large number of words that were once slang have now become a literary norm.This applies, for example, such expressions familiar to us as an Internet (Web), Claudia (keyboard), hard (hard disk), the owl (Commercial Counsellor), pipe or MOBILE within the meaning of "mobile phone".Or carrier, bomber, t. E. A taxi driver, a person engaged in private carrying.And yet what is the "m" in the slang?It stands thus: the like.Famous words - hype, failure, spur - of the same slang sources.The main difference between this layer of vernacular vocabulary, vulgarisms, etc.. Etc .: it is most actively used in the environment of intelligent, educated people of different professions.
Scope consumption
Sleng - the prerogative of individual social, professional, and other age groups.These include Argo - thieves and criminal slang and "Fenya" - the language of thieves and tramps.The specific language of the military, sports fans, teachers and journalists, and so on. D. - Professional slang.But the main "supplier" of new words and phrases in the vocabulary obscheliteraturnogo are young people - boys and girls from 13-15 to 25 years.What is youth slang, demonstrate such bright nominative units, as the "great" - great, "cool" - great, "cool" - is prestigious, "garbage" - nonsense, nonsense.This type of speech is inherent familiarity crudely painted.Linguists distinguish these lexical-semantic groups of words related to youth slang:
- person / people: dude, man, chick, defki, boyfriend / girlfriend (people who have an intimate relationship), ace, laces;
- appearance / clothes: outfit, packed, clothes, cool, drop dead;
- pastime / leisure: parties, diskach, fiesta, joking, rip, baldet and so on. D.
should be noted that the youth slang - the phenomenon is extremely moving, constantly changing.It is formed mostly as a derivative of an existing vocabulary of normative and based on foreign borrowing.
