| | More on Slang |
 | | Slang is distinguished from jargon, the technical vocabulary of a particular profession, as jargon is (in theory) not used to exclude non-group members from the conversation, but rather deals with technical peculiarities of a given field which require a specialized vocabulary. |
 | | Slang is the non-standard use of words in a language of a particular social group, and sometimes the creation of new words or importation of words from another language. |
 | | Slang is always known for its vocabulary, but that doesn't mean that it follows the regular syntax, grammar, phonetics, pragmatics, etc. of the standard language. |
