Slang
– a psycho-social phenomenon.

The
application of a psycho-social model to teenage slang in
COKT has convinced me that the use of teenage slang is best
understood as a psycho-social phenomenon, and that such a
model can probably be applied no matter what language or
culture is studied.
The studies of slang in COKT (The Corpus of Kaunas
Teenage Language)
indicate that slang tends to be used as a linguistic
and psycho-social marker of adolescence. A teenager’s
everyday reality is shaped by interactions with family
members, relatives, friends, teachers, etc. Integration
occurs in concrete interactions where specific subject
matters are talked about. This indicates the social ties
that exist in a communicative context, and which represent
the diversity of everyday interests and experiences that
teenagers share with each other. A teenager’s integration
in a peer group is characterised by the following features:
insecurity, dependency and need for instruction, safety,
solidarity with the group, co-operation and shared interests.
Thus, group affiliation is determined by the teenagers’
choice of identity and is based on the presence in group
interaction, active participation and vital interest. It
strains upon the teenagers’ linguistic variety an abiding
influence, which results in the use of slang. In order to
use slang in verbal communication and understand the meaning
it conveys one must be linguistically competent. The
competence for social action in the teenage subculture
presumes the acquisition of the teenage language, which is
one of the key conditions for such socialisation. To my mind
the teenage vernacular is a social phenomenon, while slang
is a psycho-social phenomenon.
