What is COLLOQUIALISMS? It's an expression used in informal speech, writing or paralinguisms.
For examples : y'all , gonna, wanna
But what is distinction between colloquialisms and slang?
According to linguists Ghil'ad Zuckermann , "slang refers to informal, lexical items used by a specific social group, for instance teenagers , soldiers, prisoners or thieves.
Colloquialisms is a lexical item used in informal speech, whilst the broadest sense of that term might include slangisms. One method of distinguishing between a slangisms and a colloquialisms is to ask whether most native speakers know the word, if they do, it is a colloquialisms.
This is quite confusing but now I understand a lil bit. :) Thanks for the notes. I think I often use COLLOQUIALISMS in my life, so what you gonna do to with me? What you wanna do? HAHA. This is fun . Gotcha !
Oya, example of slangism is YOU'RE (as well as colloquialism too )
You're beautiful ! :)
