Abstract:
  • A gradual change in the attitude of linguistic sciences towards slang at the end of the 19th century has resulted in a considerable growth in the number of studies on this component of language, an abundance and variety in specialized literature that brought a great diversity of opinions. The present paper discusses two of the controversial problems of slang: the etymology of the word and the possibility of a satisfactory definition.
