Wpływ codzienności na niektóre odmiany slangu młodzieżowego (na materiale czeskim i polskim)

Abstract

This article applies to certain aspects of the development of Czech and Polish youth slang. In examining the vocabulary of young people drawn from hip-hop and the lexicon of youth magazines and the Internet, the author notes a peculiar tendency to standarize the vocabulary thanks to the influence of English loanwords in both languages. Characteristic for the Czech and Polish youth slang is also incredible pace of changes taking place in it. It’s probably caused by fast changes in the surrounding world. The described phenomena and trends are part of a much broader issue of globalization of the communication process.
