JARGON AND SLANG: LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS
Keywords:
jargon, slang, linguistic analysis, sociolinguistics, vocabulary, sociolect, language change, lexical innovation, informal language, professional language.Abstract
The study of linguistic phenomena such as jargon and slang has long remained a focal point for researchers interested in social stratification, language change, and group dynamics. Analyzing these units of vocabulary reveals profound insights into how language both shapes and is shaped by the social fabric of communities. The classification, function, and trajectory of jargon and slang stand at the intersection between social necessity and linguistic creativity.
