Rezumat: | Our article aims at focusing on words or phrases belonging to the slang linguistic compartment, which is a section less approached by linguists, precisely because of its moral character, since the slang expressions designate some intriguing aspects of language that might seem filthy or vulgar. Modern dictionaries based on slang have tried to eliminate this preconception and to highlight the argotic expressions, as slang is nothing but a phenomenon of speech, usually associated with a particular group. Slang words generally replace some unanimously accepted synonyms, in an attempt to emphasize social and contextual understanding. As regards the slang expressions related to animals, they are numberless, as for almost each and every animal we can find a deprecatory meaning that generates a slang phrase. We have arranged the expressions systematically, starting from a certain root word and giving all the slang expressions connected to it. |
