Subject: General Linguistics / Argotica (Jrnl)
Full Title: Argotica
Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics
Call Deadline: 01-Sep-2016
The use of slang in daily conversation, in the media and in arts, especially
in literature, music and cinema, favoured the belief that slang is a
reflection of linguistic craft. Interpreted as colourful, subversive and
figurative, slang was understood as the creation of certain groups of
speakers, but it was also exposed as the expression of a crude, violent and
dark view upon reality. Regardless of the attitudes towards slang, it is
undeniable that the life of slang obeys the same rules as the life of
language, in general.
This issue of Argotica is dedicated to the artisans of slang. We will refer to
the authors who capitalized on the aesthetic virtues of slang (poets,
novelists, reporters, lyricists, screenwriters and so on) as well as to the
scholars who dedicated their efforts to the study of slang and, as such, drew
the attention to less known aspects of slang formation and use.
Under the topic ''Masters of slang'' we welcome contributions guided by two
coordinates:
- Poetics of slang. This coordinate outlines the use of slang in the media and
in verbal arts, be they works of literature, lyrics, scripts or plays. The aim
of this approach is to reveal the expressive and persuasive effects of slang
use.
- Slang studies today and yesterday. This coordinate highlights the
influential scientific models in slang research. The works of scholars such as
Alfredo Niceforo, Jean Graven, Lazar Saineanu, Iorgu Iordan, Alexandru Graur,
Albert Dauzat, Gaston Esnault, Pierre Guiraud, Louis-jean Calvet, Jean-paul
Colin, Jean-pierre Goudaillier, Eric Partridge, David W. Maurer, Jonathon
Green, Julie Coleman, and others established the study of slang as an
autonomous branch of science at the crossroads of psychology, sociology and
linguistics. To revisit these works means to honour their authors and to
ponder on the interdisciplinary nature of slang studies.
In our view, the scope of the suggested topic allows for original
contributions that mirror the specific dynamics of the language practices
generally falling under the name of Slang.
