Social project “Jargonisms in the speech of students of our school. Essay-reasoning on the topic The use of jargon in speech Project on the topic of jargon in our speech

Social project "Jargon in the speech of students of our school" (as part of the regional stage of the republican competition of research projects "I am a citizen of Russia"

From work experience

higher qualification literature

I am a citizen of Russia. We say these words with pride. We know how much time demands from us, young citizens of Russia. Life is gaining momentum every year, and it is impossible to stay away from public affairs: from politics, economics, social problems and, of course, from everything that makes up the spiritual sphere of our society. And it is, first of all, the language.

Language is the main means of human communication. It arose in ancient times in the process of their joint labor activity. He helped people understand each other, work together, share knowledge and information.

Much attention is paid to the protection and development of the language in our state: in 2002, the educational campaign "Pure Word" was announced in our republic and continues to operate, 2007 in the Russian Federation was declared the year of the Russian language, on May 20, 2005, the State Duma adopted the Federal Law on State the language of the Russian Federation, in which Article 1, paragraph 5 states: "Protection and support of the Russian language as the state language of the Russian Federation contributes to the multiplication and mutual enrichment of the spiritual culture of the peoples of the Russian Federation."

Human speech is the embodiment, the realization of language. The more different words the speaker uses, the more beautiful and richer his speech. And vice versa, if the vocabulary is poor, then the speech of such a person is clumsy, miserable, primitive. But along with the clumsiness and primitiveness of speech, we increasingly began to encounter such phenomena in the speech of young people as illiteracy, incoherence, rudeness, foul language, jargon, with which, unfortunately, we all got used to. But it has been noticed that speech contamination can provoke spiritual coarsening, denial of the spiritual values ​​of our society. This is what determines the relevance of the project "Jargonisms in the speech of students of our school", which was carried out by members of the additional education association "The Art of Words" under the guidance of students in grades 9 B and 9 C.

The purpose of the project is to analyze the quality of schoolchildren's speech in terms of the quantitative use of jargon in speech.

Project objectives:

Define the concept of "jargon";

Determine the functions of jargon;

Conduct a survey to identify the frequency and reason for the use of jargon, the attitude of schoolchildren towards them;

· to stimulate the activity of the civic position of students in relation to the problems of the language.

Having decided on the topic, purpose, tasks of the project, we put forward a hypothesis: jargon is a frequently used lexical variety, the reason for using it is to attract the attention of others and speech poverty. And also, having discussed, determined the research methods. We had to select and analyze the literature on the problem, observe the speech of schoolchildren, adults, conduct conversations with them and conduct a survey among schoolchildren.

We were divided into creative groups, each of which had its own task:

analyze the literature on the problem of the project; to study the concept of "jargon", its functions; to think over the questions of the questionnaire and conduct a survey; process the results of the survey; sum up the research work - presentation of the project.

So, what have we learned about jargon and its functions.

Jargon is the second name for objects, phenomena that already have a generally accepted literary name, for example, “buza” instead of “mess”, “shamat” instead of “eat”. Jargon is outside the literary language, it is a stylistically limited vocabulary. Jargon function - use in fiction for the purpose of speech characterization of a character or creating the desired color . The source of jargon is professional speech (for example, pilots, sailors, doctors, prisoners, etc.). Slang words make up a negligible percentage in relation to the vocabulary of the national language. They pollute the language.

At one of the classes of the circle, we thought over the questions of the questionnaire. They were next.

Do you use slang words in your speech? How often do you use them? In what setting do you use them?

4. How do you feel about the use of slang words by your peers in speech?

5. Do you hear jargon in adult speech?

6. Why do you think you (your peers) use slang words?

Then we conducted a survey, which was attended by 150 schoolchildren from grades 6 to 11, and processed the questionnaires. The results were as follows:

Use jargon in different settings, situations:

a) at home - 28%;

b) in communication with peers on the street, at school - 83%;

c) at home and at school - 5% of schoolchildren.

The following numbers make you think about the attitude of the guys to the use of jargon:

They hear jargon in the speech of adults - 88%, no - 7%. These are also alarming numbers. And finally, the reasons for the use of jargon in speech were indicated by the following:

Desire to seem like an adult - 17.3%;

Attract the attention of others - 16%;

Lack of vocabulary - 16.6%;

3% indicated bad manners;

3% believe that without them now it is impossible to survive, life is like that;

3% for a bunch of words.

Thus, the results of the survey confirmed our hypothesis that jargon is a frequent occurrence in the speech of our schoolchildren, and the alleged reasons for its use were also confirmed: this is the desire to seem like an adult, and the desire to attract the attention of others, and the paucity of vocabulary. After all, a meager vocabulary forces a person to abuse slang words. And the desire of young people to attract the attention of others is explained by the desire of young men and women for speech looseness, moving away from stereotypes in expressing thoughts and feelings, impressing jargon as a means of communication that corresponds to their age and distinguishes them from adults as a social group.

After analyzing the results of our activities during the implementation of the project, we came to the following conclusions:

1) jargon clogs our speech, makes it difficult to understand between people, is not able to express the diversity of human thoughts and feelings;

2) it is necessary to “fight” for the purity of the word, not to allow an indifferent attitude, because jargon is accompanied by a special worldview and behavior, leading to spiritual poverty. After all, as K. Paustovsky said: “We learn the language and must learn until the last days of our lives”;

3) we have acquired the skills of research work.

The final stage of our work on the project was the definition of prospects:

· hold a number of events, competitions, essays dedicated to the purity of the word at the school;

· to carry out the action "Pure word" on the scale of the village;

· to carry out a new research project "Nicknames".

Introduction
From the first to the eleventh grade we study Russian. This is one of the most difficult school subjects. But no one doubts that it is necessary to study the Russian language. Who needs? Me, my friends, classmates, those who will come to school after us. To my children, grandchildren. I sincerely believe that the Russian language is “great and mighty”, because it is the language of Pushkin, Gogol, Chekhov and other classics of Russian literature.
However, what do we hear today from the lips of modern youth?
“You have a cool outfit”, “We had a great time today.” What is the "greatness" and "power" of the language of modern youth and schoolchildren? Fight them or accept them? This contradiction contributed to the emergence of interest in the study of students' vocabulary and determined the problem of my research.
1. Explanatory note
1.1. The field of study is jargon and youth slang as a layer of vocabulary, closely related to the life of a modern student. The object of the study is the oral speech of students in my school. The base of the study is students in grades 5-9
MBOU "Ust-Altanskaya secondary school"
1.2. Relevance: - limited vocabulary is common among schoolchildren, but its origin is not sufficiently represented in school textbooks of the Russian language; - youth slang and jargon are phenomena that are present everywhere, and acquaintance with them will help to expand knowledge about the lexical composition of the language and deepen knowledge of the Russian language as a whole ; - the study of limited vocabulary allows you to connect linguistic knowledge with life, increases observation and teaches you to find interesting and unexplored things next to you; - work on the topic allows you to find out the attitude of schoolchildren to youth slang, as well as to identify the reasons for students to use such vocabulary. 1.3.

Hypothesis:
in the speech of students, limited vocabulary prevails: slang, jargon are frequently used means in the speech of schoolchildren, their use is associated with a desire to stand out among people, to be modern; slang words make up semantic groups associated with the life and activities of schoolchildren. Is it so?
Tasks:
Determine the composition of groups of commonly used vocabulary in the speech of schoolchildren.
Define "slang".

Common vocabulary
Professional vocabulary
Dialect vocabulary
Jargon
Many words of the Russian language are known to all the people and are used by everyone. These words are common, for example: water, earth, sky, bird; green, blue, long; go, think, speak. But there are words in Russian that not everyone knows and uses in their speech. These are uncommon words. Non-common vocabulary includes dialect, professional, slang words and words of youth slang.

2.1 What is slang?
There are several definitions of slang.
Slang is the speech of a group united by common interests, containing many words and expressions that differ from the general language and are not quite clear to others.
Slang is a variant of colloquial speech that does not coincide with the norm of the literary language. What is slang for?
Slang makes speech more concise, emotionally expressive, the speaker can most fully and freely express his feelings and emotions. (Let's compare two expressions. In bookish, literary language: "I have a strong pleasant feeling from this song." In slang: "I just trudge over this song!") The most successful definition of slang, in my opinion, is this:
Slang - words that live a full life in the modern language, but are considered undesirable for use in the literary language.
2.2. Youth slang
Youth slang is a social dialect of people aged 13-30 years old, which arose from opposing themselves to the older generation and the official system, and is distinguished by colloquial, and sometimes rudely familiar coloring.
In my opinion, the concept of school slang is a kind of speech that does not coincide with the norm of the literary language, used by a narrow circle of people united by a common interest, occupation, position in society. From this definition it follows that slang refers to the vocabulary of a limited scope of use and is used mainly in oral communication. Slang was, is and will be in school vocabulary. It cannot be banned or abolished. It changes over time, some words die, others appear, just like in any other language. Of course, it’s bad if slang completely replaces normal speech for a person. But it is impossible to imagine a modern student without slang at all. The main advantages here are expressiveness and brevity.
It is no coincidence that slang is currently used in the press and even in literature (and not only in the detective genre) to give liveliness to speech. Even high-ranking statesmen use slang expressions in their speeches. Therefore, one cannot treat slang as something that only pollutes the Russian language. It is an integral part of our speech.

2.3 Reasons for using slang.
Slang is a kind of non-literary speech. Most often, slang is used by teenagers and young people.
Suppose that slang in students' speech is a means of everyday speech. The question arises: why do schoolchildren speak this way, why has slang become firmly established in everyday life?
To answer this question, I conducted a language study: questioned the students, conducted observations (both in the classroom, and during breaks, and outside the school). I found out that students in grades 5-9 of my school actively use slang in their speech, which is characterized by a bright expressive and stylistic coloring, therefore it easily turns into colloquial everyday speech, into vernacular.
In the questionnaires, I asked them to indicate the words that the guys use most often. The analysis of the research work and my observations made it possible to identify the following semantic groups of slang in the speech of students:
Group Name Examples
1 Body parts rake (hands), pack, tower (head), blinker (eyes), mitten (mouth), locators (ears); 2 Words denoting people by profession teacher (teacher), drove (driver), historian (teacher history), cop (policeman);
3 Household appliances box, telly (TV), mobile phone, cell phone (mobile phone), computer (computer), laptop (laptop);
4 Transport motik, motak (motorcycle), great (bicycle), wheelbarrow (car), nine, ten, ferret (car models) 5 Words denoting people by kinship ancestors, relatives, (parents), papan, folder (dad), maman (mother), sister (sister), brother (friends), brother, brother (brother), men (boyfriend) 6 Study homework (homework), deuce (grade "2"), nickel (grade "5"), kontroshka7 Foodstuffs hawka, hawal, havchik, zhrachka (food), shop, shop (shop), canteen (canteen)
8 Grandma's money, loot, bucks, thing, chirp9 Evaluation words are cool, cool, lafa, nishtyak, zashib, buzz (good, excellent), cool (interesting), cool (excellent), one hundred pounds, specifically (exactly), according to kind, real (true), vosche (admiration), shameful, dumb, sucks (bad, ugly), lucky (lucky), bullshit (very simple)
10 Verbs back off, get rid of, unhook, get away (get away, leave me alone), market (talk), pin (jok), load (annoy), break off (failure), go crazy, stunned (surprised), stir up, chop (deceive), tear off (get it), stretch out (rest), bastard, trudge (very good), slip away, wind up (run away), stare, stare (look), smile (smile), load (annoy, pester), sew, score (kill), vanish, slip away (leave), run over (threaten); 11 Words denoting people by their quality of character rat, ram, pig, dog, elk, goof, loshara, brake, six, woodpecker, goat, schmuck, tall, cow, ambal
As a result of the study, it was found that students actively use slang in their speech. The use of non-literary vocabulary is most often observed when schoolchildren communicate with each other and when expressing any feeling (surprise - cool!, delight - wow!, irritation - fuck off, etc.) But it is interesting that sometimes without context , very often these words and expressions are accompanied by facial expressions and gestures. Because without them it can be difficult to understand the meaning of the statement. This is confirmed by the fact that 7th grade students could not find all the matches for slang words and expressions (for example, the word “crazy” without being applied to some situation turned out to be difficult to explain). Depending on the situation, words can express various, even opposite, emotions: disappointment, irritation, surprise, joy. For example: Well, damn it, you give! (surprise), Don't bother the damn thing (irritation), Damn it! (delight), etc. Students believe that the emotions and feelings that overwhelm them cannot be expressed in literary language (one of the reasons for using slang).

3. Practical research
3.1. Conducting a survey of students in order to determine
The question that I asked the students seemed natural to me: “Why do you use slang?” It turned out that the most popular answers were "It's fashionable, modern", "Help to assert themselves". I realized that the guys, using slang, follow the fashion, they are afraid to seem ridiculous, a "black sheep" if they start speaking in a literary language. In addition, there is an element of self-affirmation, a kind of protest against the surrounding reality.
The second most popular answer is: "Slang makes it easier to understand for friends." Several people responded that slang gives liveliness and humor to speech. To the question: “When you grow up, will you use slang?” Many answered no. This suggests that the use of slang by adults is unacceptable, in their opinion, and at the same time, it seems to confirm the thesis that slang is to a greater extent a youth phenomenon. At the same time, the observation on the qualitative use of slang seemed interesting to me: fifth-graders and sixth-graders most often use words expressing emotional assessment (cool, cool, cool) and words related to school life (physical, liter) high school students expressed the idea that in front of strangers ( adults, teachers) try not to use slang in their speech.
From conversations with adults, I found out that before, when they were in school, slang was present. They named such words: damn, state assessment, bullshit, spur, but the use of these expressions was low, these words were not “thrown” openly, it was considered shameful to pronounce an unliterary word aloud in front of an adult. The teachers of our school know a lot of modern slang words, some of them sometimes use them as a joke.
4. Conclusion.
In my work, I tried to explain the reasons for the use of slang as an element of students' everyday speech. The children of my school actively use non-literary vocabulary in their speech. The study of non-common vocabulary in speech proves the presence of slang, slang words and expressions in the vocabulary of schoolchildren.
Most of all in speech, the guys from my school use slang as an expressive tool, considering it fashionable. Thus, they want to create their own world, different from the world of adults. It was also found that the use of slang is a kind of protest against the "gray" reality, it is an element of self-affirmation, the desire for independence and independence. An important factor is the influence of the media on the speech of the student. In addition, it was found that schoolchildren treat slang as a temporary phenomenon in their speech. Some of the students did not think at all about how they speak.
I found out that slang has existed for a long time (since the time of our mothers and grandmothers), but the degree of use of this phenomenon in the language has increased in our time. Therefore, the hypothesis that I put forward is correct - in the speech of students, limited vocabulary prevails. In the first place - slang, jargon, and dialectisms and professionalism are very rare. So, our task is to learn how to use this vocabulary appropriately in accordance with the situation of communication. Know about the impossibility of its application in normalized speech. To get rid of the negative influence of limited vocabulary, you need to know well the norms of the literary language - the norms of pronunciation, stress, inflection, pronunciation.

A selective survey of students in grades 6 and 7 revealed their attitude to the use of jargon. A total of 14 people were interviewed.
When asked why students use jargon, the data presented in the table were obtained:
6th grade 7th grade total
A Fashionable, modern 4 3 7
B Needed in speech to connect words2 2 4
C Make speech clearer 1 1 2
G Something else 1 - 1
Having considered this issue, we can draw the following conclusion: the main reason for using jargon is to organize communication among peers, and this is also a “pursuit” of fashion and modernity. The everyday speech of schoolchildren is full of jargon and it is almost impossible to eliminate them. However, it must be remembered that slang vocabulary is not the vocabulary of a cultured, educated person, and one should always remember in what area of ​​speech communication it is acceptable for use.

INTRODUCTION

The last decade of the past century was marked by dramatic changes in our linguistic life. And one of them is a more free handling of the word. This freedom is found not only in the speeches of rally speakers and politicians, not only under the pen of a journalist, but also in the everyday speech practice of ordinary Russian speakers.

The literary norm has become more tolerant of colloquial usage, slang words, and new foreign borrowings.

We often hear the words "slang", "slang", "slang". And we often use jargon in our speech, which, according to some, clog it, according to others, we transform the literary Russian language.

But what is called jargon, where did it come from and is it needed? These are the questions I will try to answer.

First, I would like to note that the word jargon is understood as:

• Jargon is an obsolete name for the Yiddish language;
• Jargon - a precious stone, yellow zircon with a diamond sheen;
• Jargon is a social dialect.

Let's stop at the last one. Each scientist dealing with this issue defines this concept in his own way. I will give the opinions of philologists on this matter.

Jargon (French jargon, presumably from Gallo-Romance gargone - chatter)- social dialect; differs from the general colloquial language in specific vocabulary and phraseology, expressiveness of turns and the special use of word-formation means, but does not have its own phonetic and grammatical system (Big Encyclopedic Dictionary / Chief ed. V. N. Yartsev. - 2nd ed. - M .: Great Russian Encyclopedia", 1998. - 685 p.: ill.).

"Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language" edited by S.G. Barkhudarova interprets this term “as a conditional language of some small social group, which differs from the common language in terms of vocabulary, but does not have its own phonetic and grammatical system, which does not allow jargon to become an independent language. Jargon is not recognized and is not normative. And D.E. Rosenthal is of much the same opinion, but considers the jargon to be slang with a touch of humiliation.

Jargon vocabulary is builton the basis of the literary language through rethinking, metaphorization, reshaping, sound truncation, etc., as well as the active assimilation of foreign words and morphemes.

The main function of jargonconsists in expressing belonging to a relatively autonomous social group through the use of specific words, forms and turns.

FROM THE HISTORY OF JARGONS

A variety of jargons have the same history of origin. From the explanatory dictionary of Vladimir Dahl, it is known that the jargon originated from the language of the pedlars-ofen:

Ofenya (afenya) - a small merchant wandering around the villages with haberdashery and manufactured goods, books, popular prints, mainly from the peasants of the Vladimir province, etc.(There is also an assumption that they arose from an almost extinct nation - the Athenians).And since they always had different goods and money, they were often attacked by robbers. Ofeni and came up with a peculiar language that only they themselves could understand - offensky. This encrypted language was passed on to children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. And ordinary people liked it so much that it gradually began to be used by beggars, prostitutes, horse thieves and simply highway robbers, against whom the language was first conceived. This language was used not only to communicate, but also to encrypt oral and written information, not wanting to divulge secrets and secrets. The jargon penetrated the gangs of thieves, was in shackles on Kalyma. This is how thieves' jargon appeared. Hence the other name for the jargon - fenya (to talk about a hair dryer).

1. Thieves' jargon- a social dialect that developed among the declassed elements of society, as a rule, criminals. It is a system of terms and expressions designed to initially identify members of the criminal community as a separate part of society, opposing itself to a law-abiding society. The use of terms and expressions is also intended to make it difficult for the uninitiated to understand the meaning of the conversation or communication between the declassed elements. Thieves' jargon, as a rule, reflects the internal hierarchy of the criminal world, assigning the most offensive and offensive words, nicknames, etc. to those who are at the lowest level of the hierarchy, and the most respectful words and expressions to those who have the most power and influence.

During the USSR, many writers and poets were repressed and ended up in prisons (for example, Alexander Solzhenitsyn). They described prison life, and many words of thieves' jargon became literary.

Examples:

Ara is a person of Armenian nationality.

Balamut - an instigator to quarrels.

Cormorant - 1) an inexperienced thief; 2) a bully; 3) a small speculator;4) a man lured into a brothel with the aim of stealing money or valuables from him.

The Jew is a smart convict.

Forge - mark cards.

Lying - the location of the offender.

Baby is a minor thief, a student of an experienced criminal.

Teddy bear is a small safe.

Congratulate - deal an unexpected blow.

A hard worker is an honest worker.

1. Fenya - a language that was formed in Russia in the Middle Ages and was originally used by itinerant offen traders. The Ofeni created a new language by inventing new roots and leaving the traditional Russian morphology and used the language to communicate "not for other people's ears." Subsequently, the language was adopted by the criminal environment, and now Fen is called thieves' jargon.

Babai is an old man; usurer; Asian.

The wolf is a law enforcement officer.

Nits - 1) insignificance; 2) a prisoner who does not know how to stand up for himself.

Give it to the teeth so that the smoke goes - let it smoke.

Zhigan - recidivist thief; desperate thief.

Score clothes - sell stolen goods.

Kaperka - a gathering of thieves.

Limonit - do not return the lost.

Malinka -1) sleeping pills; 2) a mixture of various drugs.

A prick is an inconspicuous, determined only by touch, mark on the map.

Salty is Armenian.

To frighten off a sparrow - to break the lock.

Solid - experienced, reliable.

Went to the left - shot.

Violets are money.

Fryer - 1) an inexperienced criminal; 2) money man; 3) a well-dressed person.

A seagull is a white cap.

Devil from muddy water - 1) suspicious; 2) an experienced employee of the criminal department.

P.S. now Fenya is perceived as thieves' jargon.

1. Argo (from French argot) - the language of a socially closed group of people, characterized by the specificity of the vocabulary used, the originality of its use, but not having its own phonetic and grammatical system.

Jargon and slang should not be confused. Jargon usually has a professional attachment, while slang can be used regardless of profession. For example, in modern French, many slang words are used by both young people from poor neighborhoods and managers with higher education.

Often, "slang" refers to the language of the declassed groups of society, the language of thieves, vagabonds and beggars. In fact, Argo has become synonymous with the word "fenya". Argo does not constitute an independent system and is reduced to a specific word usage within a common language. Argo interacts with jargon and vernacular, forming a special lexical layer - slang. Argo is often identified with the concept of a secret language.

Common words from narcotic slang:

Yogi - an LSD addict, a visitor to technodiscos.

Music, music - in prison jargon it meant strong tea, chifir. Today, after drugs have become the “property” of nightclubs, this word can refer to any psychoactive substance.

1. Slang (from English slang) - a terminological field, a set of special words or new meanings of already existing words used in various human associations (professional, social, age groups).

Examples:

Paid separately. The amount of payment for an exclusive usually exceeds the fees for shooting days.

1. Professional jargon

It is a set of simplified (shortened or figurative) words for concepts that are often used by people in a certain circle of occupations (generally accepted terms are usually long and inconvenient for conversation, or do not exist at all). It exists in almost all professional groups. In terms of word formation, it is similar to “ordinary” jargon, but it serves not so much to express belonging to a group, but to ease communication.

The reasons for creating conditionally professional languages ​​are as follows:

• People want to communicate with each other in the presence of strangers, remaining misunderstood;
• Desire to hide the secrets of one's craft and trade;
• The need for isolation from hostile forces;
• Striving for speech expressiveness.

Examples:

Dural is the abbreviation for the aluminum alloy Duralumin.

Chief accountant - chief accountant.

Subwoofer - separate speaker system for reproduction of the lowest frequencies.

Portfolio - demo set.

Sketch (English sketch, literally - sketch, sketch, sketch), in the XIX - early XX centuries. a short play with two, rarely three characters. The sketch has received the greatest distribution on the stage. On Russian television (“Our Russia”, “Six Frames”, “Give Youth!”, “Dear Program”, “Gentleman Show”, “Distant Relatives”, “Gorodok” ... A.P. Chekhov was a famous creator of sketches.

1. Mat (swearing, obscene language) - a kind of profanity in Russian and other Slavic languages. According to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the use of obscenities in public can be regarded as petty hooliganism (Article 20.1), punishable by a fine or administrative arrest. However, at present, the use of the mat is not uncommon in all strata and gender and age groups of society. It is also widely used in modern literature. There are also earlier cases of the use (in the form of “puzzles” with dots) of swearing in literature, in particular, in the works of classical authors: Pushkin, Mayakovsky, and others. and a small boat bend.

Examples:

A.S. Pushkin "The Cart of Life":

In the morning we sit in the cart;
We are happy to break the head
And, despising laziness and bliss,
We shout: let's go! fuck your mother.

ON THE. Nekrasov "Contemporaries":

Frightened by Dernitsyn's project;
Sings about the public good,
And in the soul - the ideals of Plotitsyn!
Gape - fuck.

V.V. Mayakovsky "To you":

Do you, who love women and dishes,
Give life to please?
I'd rather be in a fucking bar
serve pineapple water.

1. Youth slang- a social dialect of people aged 13-23, which arose from opposing themselves not so much to the older generation as to the official system. Occurs among urban student youth and separate closed groups.

Peculiarities

Youth slang, like any other, is only a lexicon on the phonetic and grammatical basis of the national language, and is distinguished by colloquial, and sometimes rough familiar coloring. The most developed semantic fields are "Person", "Appearance", "Clothes", "Housing", "Leisure". Most of the elements are various abbreviations and derivatives of them, as well as English borrowings or phonetic associations. A characteristic feature that distinguishes youth slang from other types is its rapid variability, explained by the change of generations.

History

Three stormy waves in the development of youth slang in Russia are noted.

1. 20s. The first wave is associated with the appearance of a huge number of homeless children in connection with the revolution and the civil war. The speech of students of adolescents and youth was colored with a lot of "thieves" words learned from them.
2. 50s. The second wave is associated with the appearance of "dudes".
3. 70-80s. The third wave is associated with a period of stagnation that gave rise to various informal youth movements and "hippie" young people created their own "systemic" slang as a linguistic gesture of opposition to the official ideology.

At present, the development of youth slang is greatly influenced by computerization (the transfer of meaning, ideas, image with the advent of the computer received additional opportunities compared to writing and printing).

I decided to ask the students of our technical school what words from youth slang they use in speech. Here's what happened:

To thump - to get drunk.

Google - search the Internet using the Google search engine.

To hang out - to be (rest) somewhere.

To stir up - to organize.

Klaha is the class teacher.

To screw up - to do something.

Nepret - bad luck.

Lower - humiliate.

Back off - back off.

The parents are the parents.

Cigarettes are cigarettes.

Studen - student card.

The brake is stupid; slow.

Hang around - be.

Uchaga is a primary vocational educational institution.

Eat - eat.

Definitely a compliment.

1. Schoolboy jargon

The vocabulary of schoolchildren's jargon contains words thematically related to the following four areas: school area; the sphere of leisure; sphere of life; scope of assessment.

1. Jargon of schoolchildren and the sphere of the school.

The words of the first sphere can be divided into the following groups:

Names of teachers: algebroid, physicist, hysteric, chymosis.

Names of subjects: physical, litera, pinglish (English), geos (geometry), etc.

Names of other realities of the educational process: spur (crib), cramming, shamovochnaya (dining room), Kamchatka, Chukotka (back desks).

2. Jargon of schoolchildren and the sphere of leisure.

The sphere of leisure in the jargon of schoolchildren includes such words as: vidak, mafon, clipping, disk, disk player, pop, rock, pop, gop company, vodyara, sidekick, hangout, cheat, soak, wave, etc. The words of this group are characterized by the predominance of words borrowed from other jargons, in particular the jargon of musicians (to a lesser extent) and informal groups (to a greater extent, since the lexemes of this group are most influenced by fashion and are a variable component of schoolchildren's jargon).

3. Jargon of schoolchildren and the sphere of everyday life.

Words related to the sphere of everyday life can be divided into several groups:

Leximes naming parts of the body: visa, melon, card - face; pakshi, stumps, rakes, claws, wings - hands; bowler hat, head of cabbage, cabin, teapot - head; skis, chassis, bast shoes, brakes - legs; These words are characterized by the greatest traditional character.

Leximes naming clothes, shoes and accessories: jops, jeans - jeans; skin, leather jacket, bomber jacket; sweatshirts - socks. These lexemes were widespread in the slang of young people belonging to informal groups.

Tokens that name various household appliances: compik - computer; clave - keyboard; throw off, throw - copy to a floppy disk; mouse, mouse - mouse. These lexemes are innovations in the jargon of schoolchildren. Words: vidak, mafon, player - are much more common.

4. Scope of assessment in schoolboy jargon.

The words of the evaluation sphere can be divided into two groups: vocatives and evaluative vocabulary proper. Vocatives are referred to the sphere of evaluation because jargon is always expressive and expresses an attitude towards the one who is called.

A fairly large number of words belong to the group of vocatives. Here you can trace the interaction of young students with all social strata and all age categories: from small (trifle, puppies) to large (father, father, dapan). Curious such an appeal as Lochidze - the face of Caucasian nationality, he is black, black. In the youth environment, the appeal is popular - nike, by the name of the company that produces sportswear with patches of this word in English: nike. Appeals, such as: kents, peppers, dude, stick, brother, brother - are used by schoolchildren when communicating with each other and therefore are used most often. As for the actual evaluative vocabulary, it is characterized by the presence of lexemes with a pronounced positive or negative assessment.

Expressive vocabulary is represented in the jargon of schoolchildren mainly by adverbs, words of the category of state and, to a lesser extent, by adjectives. For example: chic, shine, awesome, cool, super, crown, brutal, cool, monstrous, awesome, nishtyak - a positive assessment; primato, sucks, pazorno, left, dregs, mura - a negative assessment.

1. computer slang- a kind of slang used by both a professional group of IT specialists and other computer users.

The entry of slang into the language

As in the professional language of computer scientists, there are many English borrowings in the jargon. Often these are borrowings from English computer jargon. An example is the word "gamer" - from the English jargon gamer, where a gamer is called a player in computer games or "doomer" - from doomer - this is a fan of the Doom game.

Examples:

Unlim - unlimited tariff (for Internet access).

Asya - ICQ program (used for network communication).

Bot is short for "Robot".

Vidyuha is a video card.

Toad - Java (programming language).

Ignore - a state assigned to an unwanted interlocutor (in online communication programs, forums, chats).

Lamer is a bad player, a teapot.

Lag - the delay in the passage of information between the user's computer and the server (often in online computer games).

Stump - a computer with an Intel Pentium processor.

Shooter is a genre of computer game.

1. "Padonkovsky", or "Albanian" language- the style of using the Russian language that spread in Runet at the beginning of the 21st century with phonetically almost correct, but deliberately incorrect spelling of words (the so-called errative), frequent use of obscenities and certain clichés characteristic of slang. Most often used when writing comments on texts in blogs, chat rooms and web forums. Slang has given rise to many stereotypical expressions and Internet memes, in particular, the “preved” meme is associated with it.

Examples:

Button accordion - a "bearded" anecdote, a stale joke or message (derived from the old joke "they buried the mother-in-law - two button accordions were torn").

To Babruisk, animal! - away, creature!

Kreo - creativity, creativity.

Lulz - joke, joke.

NZCHT - for nothing.

Phtopku - away, down with (low assessment of smth. / someone).

Horror - horror, nightmare (an expression of horror, often a parody of horror).

This five! - an expression of admiration (for example, the work of the author).

I have not touched on many types of jargons, less well-known but no less interesting popular ones that have just appeared. For example, jargon of cellular subscribers, army jargon,maritime slang, junkie slang, soldier slang, student slang, gaming slang, online slang, mind game slang, football hooligan slang, diver slang,slang of businessmen, drug addicts, fans of Japanese art - anime, slang of beggars, even representatives of non-traditional sexual orientation.I told you only about a small number of social dialects, this is a drop in the ocean. In fact, how many groups there are so many dialects.

"Useful" or "harmful" jargon?

Social dialects develop in the environment of more or less closed groups: schoolchildren, students, military personnel, and various professional groups. These jargons should not be confused with professional languages, which are characterized by a highly developed and fairly accurate terminology of a particular craft, branch of technology, as well as from "thieves' jargons", the language of the declassed, criminal elements of society. Jargons are lexically and stylistically heterogeneous, characterized by instability and rapid change of the most common vocabulary.

With the passage of time (especially in the 20th century), the pace of life accelerates. Accordingly, the vocabulary grows, because each new concept must correspond to at least one word. Accordingly, the vocabulary of slang is expanding. Slang reflects the tendency of 'conciseness' in the word faster than other language layers.

New words also arise in order to refresh old concepts. Also, jargons penetrate into fiction for a more colorful characterization of the characters. But at the same time, the jargon merges with the literary language, mixes with it, and sometimes we cannot distinguish the “correct” word from the “peppered” one. A significant role in the emergence of new words is played not just by democratization, but also by the ‘vulgarization’ of public life, and the media (especially television, which everyone watches) especially contribute to this. Jargon crowds out respectable speech and, thanks to mass culture, leaves its mark on the language of the whole nation.

In addition to the jargons that arise on the basis of the national language, there are those that appear as a result of communication of a multilingual population in border areas or in places of accumulation of a multinational population, for example, in seaports.

But everything in this life is needed for something. So why, for what, to whom and in what situations may jargon be needed?

1) When a person seeks to destroy formality for easier mutual understanding or when you want closer communication. For example, such a phrase belongs to the owner of a large company: “Why are you huddled in the corners? Shall we grab a hundred grams?

2) When you want to demonstrate the breadth of knowledge: “As knowledgeable people say,” etc.

H) When you want to achieve the maximum effect of the spoken.

CONCLUSION

Jargons unite people of the same occupation, and in the case of youth jargon, of the same age. Although studying at a school or institute is also an activity. But schoolchildren are growing up - and it is quite possible that in a few decades "lace" or "hawala" will become the usual words for "great and mighty." I believe that everything should be in moderation and in the right place.

Here, it seemed, was a decent word - "laz". So no, it was once as informal and had the same meaning as the current word "brake". Slightly deviating from the Russian language, I will say that similar transformations also exist in some languages. So, the French word tete (head) comes from the Latin testa. But in Latin, the head was called caput, and teata meant "hard shell." So in modern Russian, the head is called either a filly or a skull.

Writers and journalists sometimes use slang and slang vocabulary as one of the means of characterization of the hero, to show the characteristics and customs of a particular environment. Thus, the use by N. G. Pomyalovsky in “Essays of the Bursa” of Bursak jargon, often explained in detail, helped the writer to convey the gloomy coloring of the Bursat situation. Flash game, put in lenten, pfimfa.

Professional jargon, along with terms and professionalisms, can participate in the reproduction of a certain professional environment, acquainting one with the special realities of this environment and at the same time with the colloquial designations of special explanations common in it. So, for example, the story “In August forty-fourth” by the writer V. Bogomolov introduced readers to some military jargon: props (depict something for some purpose), scab (paprashutist agent), etc.

The same function is played by professional jargon in the newspaper (introduced, as a rule, into the speech of the characters, in the speech of the journalist they are highlighted graphically): Then someone shouted:Pistols did not forget? This is what surprised me. About what "pistols “is there a conversation? It turns out that this is the name of the tackle for catching gobies in the sea; I press the brake pedal, I take the levers on myself. Too sharp - machine "pecks ”.

As for the use of other types of jargon, they are usually used as a means of speech characterization.

In the author's speech (in addition to those cases when they are necessary for a realistic display of any environment), jargon can be used as a means of ridicule, ionism, etc.: He needs a manuscript, just as an experienced person needs an autogenous apparatus.Schnifer for opening fireproof cash desks; To our misfortune, a philanthropist turned out to be nearby, who needed to drive the shaft according to talents. And my friend and I fell into the category of young talents. Or in modern terms,in the vein .

7 Computer jargon

Computer technologies that have been rapidly developing since the second half of our century, and especially the massive invasion of our personal computer market in the mid-80s, have introduced into the language a huge number of special words and expressions, rich branched terminology, for example: network card, microprocessor, operating system, formatting, installation, hard drive, pixels, dialog box, object (objectDelphi3.0 for example) etc. Many of these terms are Anglicisms, but there are also a considerable number of words of “domestic” origin.

Along with science and production related to computers, virtual entertainment has also entered the market: computer games. A well-made game is a complex organism that requires a certain professionalism from the player. Games are divided into types that receive specific names, often require many special terms and rules to refer to various game processes (especially those with network capabilities, that is, the simultaneous participation of several people in the game): Quest, strategy game, flight simulator, multiplayer, deathmatch, frag etc.

As in any professional “language”, among people who are somehow connected with computers, there are also unofficial designations of certain concepts, what can be called professional “argo” (or jargon).

Jargon formation methods:

A very common way (inherent in all jargons that stand next to a certain terminology) is the transformation of some term, usually large in volume or difficult to pronounce. Here we can distinguish 1) abbreviation: computer - computer, hard drive - screw, mac - poppy.

2) Univerbation: motherboard - mother, strategy game - strategy, role-playing game - roleplayer, inkjet printer - inkjet,

Wd studio max – max(the word is the name of the most popular program, not yet grammatically formed).

As in the professional language of computer scientists, there are many English borrowings in the jargon. Often these are borrowings from English computer jargon:

Word Gamer- from English. jargon gamer(Professional computer game player). smiley- a funny face, which is a sequence of punctuation marks (: - |) . From eng. jarg. smily.

Doomer -Doomer(Fan of Doom).

The “fathers” of jargon can also be professional terms of English origin, which already have an equivalent in Russian: hard drive, hard drive, heavy drivehard drive(hard drive), connect -to connect(join),programmer- programmer (programmer),user- user (user)to click– click (click. Although now “click” is starting to compete with “click”). The grammatical assimilation of some borrowings by the Russian language is accompanied by their derivational Russification. Zip (zip) - h zip, zip, zip, User (user) - user.

Interestingly, there is also the opposite phenomenon. A jargon synonymous with the term appears, formed from a word that has long been entrenched in the Russian language: Vents - a contemptuous name for the operating systemWindows.

Borrowings, however, are by no means the only source of replenishment of the lexicon of a given lexical system. Some words come from the jargon of other professional groups, such as motorists: teapot (novice user), engine (kernel, “engine”, programs. This word is also semantically equivalent to the English counterpart engine(engine)). Sometimes a computer processor is called motor, and the computer itself - by car. Word glitch And the word-formation series from it - widely used in youth jargon, here receives the meaning of "unforeseen errors in the program or incorrect operation of the equipment." Wed “I have a printer

buggy”, or “Windows98 is a rather buggy product”.

The method of metaphorization (which is widely used in all jargon systems) is very productive. With it, words such as:

Crap - CD disk (now obsolete).

Rat - Soviet-made mouse

Resuscitator - a specialist or a set of special programs to “call out of a coma” a computer whose software is seriously damaged and it is not able to function normally.

Numerous verbal metaphors: to brake- extremely slow operation of the program or computer, demolish or kill delete information from disk.

An interesting number of synonyms are associated with the process of disrupting the normal operation of the computer, when it does not respond to any commands other than the reset button. They say about such a computer, then it hung, hung, got up, fell, collapsed. Although the word hangup (a hangup has occurred, in case of a hangup) now it can already be excluded from jargon - it is officially used as a term. This is not the only example of the presence of synonyms in the vocabulary of jargon, it is also worth noting: computer-car-apparatus-computer-machine, screw-hard drive-hard drive-heavy drive.

You can also find a method of metonymy in the formation of jargon using the example of the word iron - in the meaning of “computer, components of a computer”. Buttons - meaning "keyboard".

You can find examples of phraseological units, the motivation of the meaning of which is clear only to the initiate: blue screen of death (error message textWindowson a blue background before hovering), a combination of three fingers or send three fingers (ctrl- alt- delete- emergency removal of any running program), stomp on loaves (work on the keyboardbutton- buttons).

A special place in computer jargon is occupied by words that do not have a semantic motivation. They are in relation to partial homonymy with some common words (morphophonetic coincidences).

Lazar - Laser Printer(Lazar and laser)

Waxa - operating systemVAX.

Pentyukh -Pentium.

Kwak - gameQuake

Many computer jargon words are formed according to the word-formation models adopted in the Russian language. The affixal way - very common, is the suffix k.

flewka

shot ka

wanderedka

(Subsequently, these words were supplanted by the terms simulator, quest, 3D action).

In the words "sidyuk" (compact disk or CD-ROM reader) Or pisyuk - (PC) there is a suffix -yuk, characteristic of common speech.

The original folklore of computer scientists is interesting, in which terminological vocabulary is used in a broad figurative sense. (data from 1992).

Cant’ open- refusal to fulfill any request. (Computer message that a file cannot be extracted).

And here is an example of a transcription of a famous work:

As the old woman saw the old woman -

Quarreled worse than system massage:

“You stupid fool!

Begged for OS, fool

I don't want to be a systems programmer

I want to do whatever my heart desires

To not mess with the assembler,

And write in pure Pascal

Various pretty things...

You can often come across jokes, anecdotes, puns that are specific to computer scientists: here are examples from the famous GEG game: corporationMacrohard (pomerphemic antonym of the word Microsoft), Gell Bates– (inversion of the name and surname of the head of Microprose Bill Gates), “Harry was sleeping, but he knew that at the first click of the mouse he would wake up.”

Computer jargon is an actively developing dynamic system (due to the unusually rapid progress of computer technology). This is one of the ways of penetration into the Russian language of anglicisms (sometimes completely unjustified). Many words from computer jargon are moving into official terminology. Jargon exists not only in oral speech, not only in numerous electronic documents of letters and virtual conferences, they can also be found in print, they often come across in reputable computer publications: “... There are monitors with a diagonal of at least 17 inches, with a "motor "no weaker than pentium120... PC World (A. Orlov, December 1997). And they can be found in abundance in magazines devoted to computer games, for example: “And the monsters are there strafe no worse than anyone doumera".(emphasis mine. Game World Navigator March 1998, article - Underlight). A significant component of the vocabulary, which is distinguished by colloquial, rudely colloquial coloring, expressiveness, characteristic of youth slang, indicates that there are a lot of young people among computer scientists.

Answer left the guest

Jargon is used quite often in our colloquial speech, but we must realize that jargon does not show our education. The same expressions as: "lit-ra", "mat-ka", "phys-ra" - all this is also a kind of school "jargon. Jargon does not expand our vocabulary, does not provoke the perception of a full description of the subject, action, but only shortens it or hides the full meaning behind a brief expression that we still perceive.
Very often, in modern society, jargon is also used in household appliances: "telly", "computer", "video", etc.
Jargon should be used in moderation, and if possible not used at all, as this turns our society towards ignorance.
Nowadays, people do not think about the words with which they can hurt another person, distorting the name of his school subject, which he leads half his life ...
We can no longer live without jargon, as it has become the routine of our lived days.
(1) I have a good attitude towards slang and all sorts of jargons. (2) They have active word creation, which the literary language cannot always afford. (3) In essence, they are testing grounds for possible language experiments. (4) The use of slang in in an ordinary conversation, it creates a special effect and makes the speech quite expressive. (5) And I even envy all these “sausage is not childish”, “stopudovo” and “atomic” (I myself don’t use them very much), because whatever one may say speaking Russian means not only “speaking correctly”, as the Kultura channel requires from time to time, but also with pleasure, and therefore, emotionally and creatively. (6) After all, slang usually sounds more emotional than literary language. (7) Sometimes slang words fill in a certain gap in the literary language, that is, they express an important idea for which there was no separate word. (8) Such words have become, for example, “get” and “hit”. (9) They are very popular and often found in oral communication, if only because you can’t say it more precisely in one word. (10) Not only in colloquial speech, but also in written texts, a lot of slang words are now generally used. (11) But still, I was surprised when I read the phrase “an act of terrorist lawlessness” in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. (12) I was struck by how easily the dull word “lawlessness”, until recently “criminal jargon”, which primarily describes the situation in the camp, overcame the borders zones and entered the official language. (13) Perhaps these examples are enough. (14) It seems that almost everyone who pays attention to their native language will have complaints about its current state - similar or maybe some other (after all, we all have different tastes, including linguistic ones).

I am interested in one question.
Here the author begins to speak positively about slang and jargon, but what is the actual claim?
The fact that jargon and slang are beginning to be used more and more and are beginning to be used everywhere (Including in official languages)? Or something different?
