Abstract

This section investigates how slang influences the development of standard language by enriching vocabulary, shaping cultural identity, and expanding expressiveness. It demonstrates that slang terms, once considered non-standard, often undergo assimilation into dictionaries and formal registers, thereby reshaping mainstream communication. Attention is given to the sociolinguistic role of slang in reinforcing generational and group identity, its presence in media and advertising, and its integration into education and professional contexts. At the same time, the analysis acknowledges the risks of miscommunication and cultural appropriation, highlighting both the creative and controversial aspects of slang in a globalized world.
