Issues on Etymology and Various Concepts of Slang

Abstract

The article deals with the issues based on studying etymology and various concepts on slang, as well as analyses some types of slang and the role of slang in modern society. As it’s known that, slang is closely related to the culture, history and other social aspects of the life of the country. That is why, when mastering spoken English, experts recommend not to dwell solely on the development of common and literary vocabulary, but to pay special attention to the study of this field. This lexical layer is very dynamic: new expressions are constantly appearing in it, and old ones - losing popularity and predictably going out of use which are gradually forgotten and disappear.
