PDF] A classificatory analysis of students slang: A case study of the university of Maiduguri students

Slang is often described as informal, colloquial and nonstandard language of a particular sub-culture. Its usage domain is not limited to a small geo-political entity but pervades across the world. This underscores the existence of universal slang, country slang, regional slang, student slang among others. This study provides a classificatory analysis of slangy expressions as used by students of the University of Maiduguri. The theoretical framework adopted for the analysis is the referential theory of meaning advocated by Ogden and Richards (1923). The theory posits that, words refer to something in the external world. From the analysis, it has been discovered that sexuality slang expressions have the highest frequency of occurrence, while salutation slang expressions have the lowest. The disparity may not be unconnected with slang function, which among others, is to ensure secrecy and confidentiality for its users.
