Based on more than 10,000 examples submitted by Eble's students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill over the last twenty years, the book shows that slang is dynamic vocabulary that cannot be dismissed as deviant or marginal. Like more formal words and phrases, slang is created, modified, and transmitted by its users to serve their own purposesSlang and sociabilityCollege studentsUnited StatesLanguageCollege studentsUnited StatesSocial life and customsEnglish languageUnited StatesSlangGroup identityUnited StatesAmericanismsCollege studentsLanguage.College studentsSocial life and customs.English languageSlang.Group identityAmericanisms.427/.973Eble Connie C1481094MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786177003321Slang & sociability3697913UNINA
