JARGON LEXEMES IN DERVENTA SPEECH

Abstract

This paper presents a formation of some jargon lexemes in high school students’ speech in Derventa – first of all, their word formation with observation on productivity and meaning of each suffix, and notes on individual semantic motivation. Мaterial shows that derivative and non-derivative nouns equally occur, verb lexemes in most cases are of foreign origin, adapted by adding infinitive continuation, while adjectives and adverbs are not very common. About one hundred and fifty collected lexemes are attached in the form of a lexicon, and meanings that are specified for each lexeme are given by informants.
