  Relevance of the topic. In the last decade of the twentieth century the problem of the status of metaphor in conceptual theory began to attract the attention of linguists, as there was impetus for the development of cognitive science.

  Most linguists and lexicographers admit that the origin of the word slang is «uncertain» or «unknown». One notable exception is Skeat, a lexicographer, who claims that slang («vulgar language») is of Scandinavian origin and a derivation of Icelandic slyngva («to sling»), which can be compared with the Norwegian verb slengja («to sling the jaw») and the Norwegian noun slengjeord («slang word»), used for insulting words. In a similar vein, Partridge referred by Eble in her book «Slang and Sociability; in-group language among college students» says that certain resemblances between English word slang and the Scandinavian sling suggest that the words have developed from a common Germanic root .
  In contrast, one of the Swedish researchers on slang Anna-Brita Stenstrom, in her article «From slang to slanguage: a description based on teenage talk» shows that one of the Swedish dictionaries consulted «Bonniers Stora Lexicon» maintains that the Swedish word slang comes from English slang, and that the origin is unknown. Also she provides an identical opinion of Swedish encyclopedia «Nationalencyclopedin», which states that the word slang was not introduced in the Nordic countries until the middle of the 19th century. The first occurrence of the word slang is dated 1756 in the OED, according to which ultimate source is «not apparent». Consequently, word «slang» appeared in English language earlier than in the languages of Scandinavian countries.
  Another view on the appearance of the word slang suggests that it is not an English word; it is the Gipsy term for their secret language. Some other philologists consider it derived from French.
