HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT OF YOUTH SLANG

According to most linguists and lexicographers,

the origin of the word "slang" is very vague. It comes from the English slang - "jargon".

The word has been found since the middle of the 18th century in the meaning of “the vocabulary of thieves and vagabonds.”

In English lexicography, the term “slang” became widespread around the beginning of the 19th century. Initially, slang was called the dictionary of commoners and marginal personalities.

A number of linguists believe that the word "slang" comes from the English word sling, which means to throw, throw, scientists attribute it to the expression to sling one, s jaw.

The term slang has become well known since the fifties of the 19th century and denoted colloquial, reduced vocabulary. The main reason for the appearance of slang in the language is an attempt to shorten words for more convenient communication.

Around the first half of the 20th century, the term acquired its modern meaning. Slang began to be understood as words and expressions, new or previously used in other meanings, which are found in the speech of persons of certain age, social, professional groups or interest groups.
