| Course Overview |
In this class we will concentrate on practicing informal slanguage (slang + language = slanguage!), as well as some of the more humorous and interesting words to enter the English language recently (slanguage itself is actually quite old: the first recorded instance is from 1879 in the US, though it’s not an Americanism). In addition, we will explore new slanguage by studying the new words list for the Oxford English Dictionary. Students will be encouraged to practice some of these new words, as well as explore questions about how slang reflects contemporary cultures. この授業では「slanguage」と最近の面白い新語にも焦点を当てます（実は「slanguage」はだいぶ古い言葉なのです：最初の記録は１８７９年です）。さらに、「slanguage」を勉強するためにオックスフォード英語辞典に最近加わった言葉を勉強します。学生は新しい言葉をつかって会話する練習をし、その言葉が生まれた文化についても話し合います. |
