Overview of Vernacular

By dpradi

Given the term ‘Language’, as a group we begin our research covering the topic of “Vernacular’. This idea came initially from one of our group member, Frits.

The topic that we have covered are:

  1. colloquialism (slang)
  2. pidgin – e.g. Ssing-lish
  3. phoenetics
  4. colloquial abbreviation
  5. -”chunder” = vomit (“watch under” –> “chunder”)
    -”strewth” –> God’s truth
  6. commonality
  7. language class/level (educated vs. common)
  8. context of language
    - jargon
