THE INFLUENCE OF SLANG AND ARGOT ON PUBLIC AND SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION: POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ASPECTS

Abstract

Language is not only a practical tool for human interaction but also an essential instrument in shaping thought, culture, and identity. In the modern era, the increasing mobility of people, the intensification of digital communication, and the blending of social groups have made language more dynamic than ever before. Within this dynamic system, slang and argot occupy a unique place. They serve as instruments of creativity, expressiveness, and group solidarity, but at the same time they challenge the conventional norms of standardized communication.

This article explores the dual influence of slang and argot on both public and scientific discourse. On the one hand, slang can enrich vocabulary, increase the accessibility of communication, and serve as a valuable tool for engaging younger generations in academic or professional environments. On the other hand, excessive reliance on non-standard linguistic forms can dilute precision, undermine authority, and erode the clarity of academic expression.
