Choose the correct answer to each of the following questions
Most languages have several levels of vocabulary that may be used by the same speakers In English, at least three have been identified and described
Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted
by a majority of the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality As such, these words and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations Almost all idiomatic expressions are
Trang 6colloquial language Slang, however, refers to words and expressions understood by a large
number of speakers but not accepted as appropriate formal usage by the majority Colloquial
expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than in writing
Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless
retains them in their collective memories Every generation seems to require its own set of
words to describe familiar objects and events
It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the creation of a large body of slang expressions First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups; third, association among the subgroups and the majority population
Finally, it is worth nothing that the terms “standard”, “colloquial”, and “slang” exist only as abstract levels for scholars who study language Only a tiny number of the speakers
of any language will be aware that they are using colloquial or slang expressions Most speakers of English will, during appropriate situations, select and use all three types of expressioins

A the majority B words C slang phrases D memories
