Abstract The present study explored the prevalence of the derogatory invective “retard” (i.e., “r-word”) in everyday speech among American youth. A total of 1,169 youth between the ages of 8 and 18 years old participated in the present study. Results showed high prevalence of the r-word, as 92% of youth had heard someone use the word as a slang invective. Results also indicated that youth responded differently depending on who the word was directed toward (i.e., person with or without an intellectual disability), who said the word (i.e., friend vs. nonfriend), and who heard the word (i.e., fem

Мова – нестримна течія. Мова не стоїть на місті, вона розвивається, зростає. Люди постійно збагачують її, доповнюючи як формальними, так і не офіційними словами, а отже мова завжди розвивається та змінюється. Люди прагнуть сказати старі речі по-новому. І ця тяга до нового веде до використання сленгу. Сленг – це різновид неофіційної лексики, яка постійно зазнає змін, це неформальні слова і вирази, які не вважаються стандартними у мові.

For discovering and interpreting issues about the status and use of English around the world, students have a number of options.

Abstract:
This book is an ethnography of millennial-generation Catholic missionaries. The Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) began hiring young adults to evangelize students on college campuses in 1998. Since then, FOCUS missionaries have developed a style of Catholic evangelization that navigates between strict and savvy interpretations of Catholic teaching in contemporary US youth culture. The Catholicism that FOCUS missionaries embrace and promote grew up with them and amid their middle-class American norms—missionaries own iPhones, drink craft beer, and create March Madness brackets.

Physical attacks on gay men (i.e., “gay bashing”) are often accompanied by verbal assaults. On my campus and on others, “Take Back the Night” rallies sponsored by women ‘s groups and activities organized by gay men and lesbian women sometimes evoke verbal assaults from male bystanders, who express their hostility with homophobic language.

Anthropologist James Clifford asserts that “the return of rhetoric to an important place in many fields of study . . . has made possible a detailed anatomy of conventional expressive modes.” This new focus on rhetoric, Clifford continues, “is less about how to speak well than about how to speak at all, and to act meaningfully, in a world, of public cultural symbols” (1986:10). Even when groups use the same official language as the mainstream culture in which they exist, a distinctive pattern of communication usually emerges within each group.
