REVIEW OF THE MONOGRAPH BY S. MILORADOVICH "MUSIC JARGON OF THE YOUNG AND YOUTH MUSICAL SLANG: COMPARATIVE ASPECT." ETHNOGRAPHIC INSTITUTE SANU, SERBIAN LANGUAGE INSTITUTE SANU. BELGRADE, 2012

Abstract

This monograph considers a type of the youth slang which refers to the world of music and which also labels the young as members of the particular social group, serving them too as a tool for affirming themselves within the group.The monograph presents how the slang lexemes listed in the appended Serbian and Russian music mini-lexicons have been created or, in particular, (1) the models of their structure formation, (2) their semantic motivation for naming certain entities. A comparative analysis of the two mini-lexicons has been undertaken on a synchronic perspective in order to highlight the basic structural correspondences between the music slangs of the young people from the two Slavic milieus.
