3.1Definition
Many linguists are trying to define slang. As for the definition of slang, different people may have different ideas. There have been various definitions on slang since its birth. Many of them are very impressive:
“Slang is a language which takes off its coat, rolls up its sleeves, spits on its hands—and goes to work” (Carl Sandburg 1878-1967王汀). “Slang is the speech of him who robs the literary garbage cans on their way to the dumps” (Ambrose Bierce， Epigrams p. 358). Also, the definition of slang offered by Wikipedia is “Slang consists of a lexicon of non-standard words and phrases in a given language.”At present, a more acceptable and objective definition is offered by Longman Dictionary of English Language & Culture (English-Chinese):“…very informal language that includes new and sometimes not polite words and meanings, is often used among particular groups of people, and is usually not used in serious speech or writing”.
