| description | The current paper describes the lexical units of youth sociolect and is aimed at monitoring youth speech.
Special attention is given to heterogeneous social factors that influence the word usage in youth sociolect and involve
micro-and macrosociolinguistic pilot projects on frequency occurrence of English words in a multicultural society.
Miscrosociolinguistic analysis was focused on societal and gender differences in youth sociolect. The initial stage of the
macrosociolinguistic monitoring included the questionnaire development, setting the boundaries of a sociolinguistic
survey and the number of lexical items under consideration. The second step in the project was monitoring itself. Finally,
the results of the monitoring were analyzed. The study was carried out through an online questionnaire, face-to-face and
remote interviewing, with native English speakers and speakers of other languages from different countries and regions.
The monitoring of usage frequency demonstrated that a limited number of English lexical units are used in interpersonal
and professional communication; the other part of words presents a diverse picture. The respondents involved in
professional activity tend to demonstrate more tolerance to the youth sociolect than ordinary people. The analysis
proved the point about the heterogeneous character of sociolect usage by youth and its dependence on the sphere of
communication. |
