Abstract

Sleng nekog jezika jest jezična varijanta koja nije prihvaćena u standardnom jeziku, ne nužno jer ne postoji u rječnicima kao takva, već zbog semantičke prirode svojih riječi. Smatra se bitnim oruđem samopotvrđivanja, kao i pokazatelja pripadnosti određenoj skupini.
Kada govorimo o faktorima koji su pridonijeli razvoju slenga u Švedskoj, već se od davnijih migracija ljudi u Švedsku primjećuje porast njegova korištenja i prihvaćanje njegova „uvoza” u tadašnji švedski jezik; posebice je značajan utjecaj na razvoj slenga imao Rinkebysvenska, varijanta švedskog koja se govori u predgrađima oko Stockholma koja je naseljena velikim brojem nacionalnih manjina. Drugi faktori uključuju i brzi razvoj društvenih mreža te korištenje slenga zbog osjećaja pripadnosti.
Ipak, korištenje slenga mnogi smatraju neprimjerenim, a tematska hijerarhija slenga pokazuje da se on akumulira za riječi koje skupno možemo svrstati u sferu ilegalnog načina življenja. Sukladno tome, sleng je semantički najčešće pejorativne vrijednosti što se u švedskom vidi u slengu čak i za svakodnevne imenice ”flicka” (’djevojka’), ”pojke” (’dječak’) i ”pengar” (’novac’).
U usporedbi s hrvatskim slengom istih imenica vidljivo je da su tematske kategorije slenga preklapaju u švedskom i hrvatskom te da su vulgarizmi i pejorativna vrijednost također karakteristike koje su zajedničke obama jezika.

Abstract (english)

A slang of a certain language is a language variant not accepted by the standard language, not necessarily because it does not exist as such in dictionaries, but because of the semantic nature of its words. It is considered to be an important asset of self-affirmation as well as an indicator of belonging to a certain group.
Considering the factors which contributed to the development of slang in Sweden, an increase in its use and acceptance of its "import" into the Swedish language started happening simultaneously as people started migrating to Sweden; particularly it’s Rinkebysvenska, a variant of Swedish spoken in the suburbs around Stockholm and inhabited by a large number of national minorities that’s had a significant influence on the development of slang. Other factors include the rapid development of social networks and the use of slang to conjure a sense of belonging.
However, the use of slang is considered to be inappropriate by many, and the thematic hierarchy of slang shows that it accumulates for words that we can collectively classify in the sphere of illegal way of life. Accordingly, slang is semantically most often of pejorative value, which can be seen in Swedish slang even for the everyday nouns “flicka” (‘girl’), “pojke” (‘boy’) and “pengar” (‘money’).
In comparison with Croatian slang of the same nouns, it is evident that the thematic categories of slang overlap in both Swedish and Croatian and that vulgarisms and pejorative value are also characteristics shared by both languages.
