2.The main part

2.1. Slang as a language unit

First we need to understand what constitutes slang.

Slang is a young concept, which originated around the beginning of the 21st century. It means a group of words used by a certain social group. We can say that slang is words that are simplified, modified both lexically and grammatically for ease and speed of transmission of information in various spheres of life. The concept, though young, but very popular today. Unfortunately, slang is a problem of modern language, especially in English-speaking countries, as is total cluttering the language with many new, sometimes unnecessary or repeated words, resulting in lost original language norms.

Slang originated as a special language designed for specific purposes and remains so to this day. However, a word coined as a slang, not necessarily and will remain so. Slang can be used in a certain period and can become obsolete, or becomes a standard word in the literary language. Over the centuries of its existence, some slang words that come from the "bottom", have infiltrated and entrenched in literary English. Such words as trip, bet, donkey, shabby, chap, bore, cab, kidnap and other was once used as a slang, but was later adopted into standard or formal English. History of the English language shows that 2% of the words standard English dictionary was derived from the slang.

2.2. The types of slang

Before to give examples of slang, you need to find a clear boundary between the types of slang.

Each person is a member of the particular social, age and professional groups. Depending on this, different and our language, particularly slang. There are various kinds of slang, such as professional (doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc.), slang, social groups (the underworld, etc.). Slang is well-known and obscure, depending on the sphere of consumption. For example, the youth and student slang slang familiar to more people, since they were all young and students, respectively, used similar words.

2.3. Youth slang in the UK .

Youth slang - sociolect of people aged 12--22 years old, emerged from the opposition is not so much the older generation, how much formal system.

Youth slang, like any other, is only the lexicon on phonetic and grammatical basis of the national language and is spoken and sometimes rude-familiar color. For example, bruv - friend, duds - duds.

Youth slang has a number of peculiarities and differences from other existing slang. Among them, first of all, can be attributed to the rapid variability is due to the fact that does not stop "parish" in the youth of the younger children and "care" of her adult life young people. This is accompanied by the constant updatability of youth slang.

Youth slang will not impose, he simply exists. And in order to be included in the youth community, be it "their" young people will have not only to be young in age, but also to speak the language, typical of his age group, namely, to own and use youth slang. Youth slang is filled up by a kind of vocabulary related to areas of youth employment. These include school, University (bomb - to fail the drug test), informal youth associations (emo - gloomy, depressed), games on computers and the Internet (XP - XP), music (air guitar - imaginary guitar), sports (b-ball basketball).

2.4.Features of modern British slang of teenagers.

The most active age group of the users of slang are young people between 14 to 26 years. Slang is an integral part of vocabulary the most part young people who use slang all the time, regardless of emotional state. The degree of potrebitelei slang depends on the social environment, the different parameters of the communicative situation. Slang allows you to establish informal contact between the interlocutors, marks belonging to a particular social status, gives the opportunity for the expression of interests, ideals, needs of adolescents.

2.5.The use of slang among the youth of Russia

Currently we have a widely used English slang words,such as: easy peasy, ace, nice etc. this happens due to the close contact of cultures of different countries, contact languages, a constant borrowing of new words.These words are quickly implemented into our speech and become everyday and ordinary. Most likely, with the passage of time we learn more and more slang words and include them in your speech .

2.6. The sphere of usage slang in Britain.

Though the slang and appeared recently, but he has already managed to participate in the various spheres of life and, in particular, is widely spread among young

people as well as people connected with the culture of the UK.

In the example we can cite many areas:

- street culture (most words)

- eSports (such words refer mid etc.)

ghetto culture (the criminal layers of the gang)

- Internet community (abbreviations such as LMAO etc.)

- as well as other spheres of everyday life

In General, slang is used literally everywhere.

Fortunately, slang is not able to penetrate everywhere, because cluttering native linguistic norms would lead to the deaths of some of the areas that often happens as a result of its use, although it is really useful in some cases.

3.The practical part

3.1.A survey among students

I have conducted a survey among students of 7-11 grades of the Lyceum to find out how well they know the slang of British teenagers In the survey involved 50 people: 7 classes (15 people), 9 classes (15),11 classes (20 people). They were asked to answer 8 questions. If correct answers 7-8, the result is good, 4-6 is a medium, 1-3 - poor.

The results showed that more than half of the students are unfamiliar with the slang of British teenagers. The most recognizable is the acronym OMG (Oh my god), half not troubled the words "my b" and "chilin'". Other words, many are unfamiliar. Therefore, a dictionary of modern slang teenagers can be useful for them if they want to chat online in English, watch youth TV shows, read magazines in English or are planning a trip to the UK.
