Slang Lexicography of the Past, the Present and the Future
Journal Title: Argotica - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The history of slang lexicography is as fascinating as slang itself. It would be quite impossible for anyone to engage in the systematic study of slang without relying on the contribution of the lexicographers. For centuries on, they have recorded and preserved linguistic facts, often short-lived ones. The current issue of Argotica is dedicated to the slang lexicography of the past, the present and the future.
