Polskie i rosyjskie argotyzmy osobowe

Abstract

The object of the analysis is the problem of Polish and Russian personal jargons. The most frequent method to form personal jargons naming “woman of easy virtue” and “drunkard” is suffixation. In the process of formation emotionally marked suffixes are mainly used because in this vocabulary a word is treated as a focus of expression. Great percentage of such jargons is formed with the help of new meanings given to existing words.
