Youth Language Problem in Europe: Dialect and Slang
Journal Title: Theory and Practice of Social Systems Management - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The article deals with the problem of youth language, dialects and slang within European countries. It is indicated that dialect and slang are two important terms in the language. Dialect refers to a variety of language spoken in a certain geographical area or spoken by a particular group of people. Slang is an informal nonstandard variety of speech which consists of newly coined and rapidly changing words and phrases. The main difference between dialect and slang is that slang is distinguished by its vocabulary whereas dialect indicates differences in grammar, vocabulary as well as in pronunciation. The author highlightSs such dialects and slang throughout Europe as: Cocney in English, Kiezdeutsch in German, surzhyk in Ukrainian and triasanka in Belarusian. There are many issues which directly affect the youth of today: bullying, racism, and, of course, the language they speak, – need attention, and that government cuts are a threat to ideologies of equality and community. We conclude that in order to gauge what the younger generations in Europe want to happen to their own futures, we need to change the way we speak. Then we can respond and act and start listening to each other and live peacefully as one big family.
