THE DISCOURSE OF TEEN (Drug slang)
Abstract
Slang expressions are presented in the imagination of the speakers, originally as a coded speech, closed and unidentifiable by others. In the past slang was viewed as informal and associated with the less privileged and with persons of a low or disreputable character. The use of slangs can be presented as an attack, as verbal violence due to the fact that they act as coded words. In this article we are going to talk about slang terms for drug use and completeness of lexical elements. Reality shows scary statistics regarding the age of the various drug users. This constitutes a major concern for every family, school or public institution it has to do with. To assemble this vocabulary we used various sources, such as free discussions among adolescents, conversations in cafes, in the Internet cafes or social networks. We have managed to collect a considerable number of words and have categorized them in: soft drugs, hard drugs and drug users. During the research work we are faced with different words citing banal words, even extreme. There were a lot of words we didn’t understand their meaning. As a distinguishing feature we can mention the universal character of the slangs.
Keywords: drugs, teen, slang, chirp.
