Англо – Американский молодежный сленг

While reading English literature in the original, listening to the texts and dialogues we realize that there is a certain lexics layer that has not been learned seriously in compulsory school yet, but is used actively by the English speaking audience, especially by young people. It is Anglo – American slang. Very often, the translation of the text, containing slang, is difficult for the students of elementary school, that’s why we think there is the certain need to study this type of language more thoroughly. More over, when we use slang in our speech, it becomes less scientific and more distinct, it approaches to the natural teen’s communication style. Studying slang we followed the traditional method, used analyses of articles, newspapers, dictionaries, information from the Internet and classification of slang.
