Abstract

This article explores slang as a controversial element of non-standard vocabulary in linguistics. It analyzes different scholarly views on whether slang is an independent category or synonymous with jargon and argot, and examines its historical development and etymology. The study summarizes both negative and positive evaluations of slang and proposes a working definition that emphasizes its variability, expressiveness, and context-dependent nature.
