იტალიური და ქართული ჟარგონების სოციოლინგვისტური და ფუნქციურ-სტილისტური ანალიზი

Italian youth speak their own language or gergo. The language used by youth can be considered a special language. According to various theories, youth language is a special language, on the one hand, because of its specific and distinctive vocabulary, and a jargon, on the other hand, because it is used by a certain social group. Youth language is informal, figurative, innovative and often sarcastic. Italian youth language has different functions. The functions which should be distinguished are: entertainment, expression, identity and secrecy. Vocabulary used by youth is subject to frequent change. Today, jargon has the function of entertainment more than that of secrecy. In Georgia, jargon has always been considered a foul and vulgar language. Georgian jargon words are less common than Italian ones. Georgian jargon originated in the capital of Georgia and has become popular recently. The material reviewed in the paper includes 2 items taken from dictionaries and the Internet. We divided them into two thematic groups: 1) related to everyday life and 2)related to vicious aspects of life. The first group includes topics such as: money, work, the police, youth discourse. The second group includes theft, drugs, sex life, alcohol. The aim of our thesis is to conduct a comparative study of groups of jargon identified as a result of thematic classification, in terms of methods of word formation and also their sociolinguistic, functional and stylistic analysis. The study will allow us to identify semantic and formal methods of jargon word formation applied in these two unrelated languages, as well as similarities and differences between Italian and Georgian jargon words and phraseological units.
