English slang
Reasonable
Slang is a modern kind of language which is, in the most cases, made and used by the young generations. During the past years every generation had its own slang. That was their language, their own mark. People use it in order not to be different from their society. That characteristic, being a part of  the environment, is in human nature and it is quite hard to resist it. Slang easily becomes a part of your life and you just become a person who can not even remember when the changing of vocabulary started.I’m a students of faculty of English, so I’m very keen on exploring English. And I think that slang is a fascinating field in lexicology. I want to know much more about slang words so I can use it when talking with my foreign friends.
DEVELOPMENT
1, Definion of Lexicology
Lexicology ( 'lexis' = word+ 'logo' = learning) is a science/study which deals with words, morphemes and word groups. It's a science which studies and describes systematically the vocabulary of given language.that part of linguistics which studies words, their nature and meaning, words' elements, relations between words (semantical relations), words groups and the whole lexicon.
Lexicology contain linguistic and phonology
Linguistic include phonology, gammar and lexis.
Phonology (phonetics) : the study of a language and their relationship to one another.
2, Definition of Slang
Slang is the use of informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in the speaker's dialect or language. Slang is often to be found in areas of the lexicon that refer to things considered taboo. It is also used to identify with one's peers.
slang can be described as informal, nonstandard words or phrases (lexical innovations) which tend to originate in subcultures within a society.  Slang often suggests that the person utilizing the words or phrases is familiar with the hearer's group or subgroup--it can be considered a distinguishing factor of in-group identity
3,Varieties of slang
Rhyming slang
Rhyming slang, chiefly associated with Cockney#Cockney speech spoken in the East End of London, replaces a word with a phrase which rhymes with the word, for example, plates of meat for "feet", or twist and twirl for "girl". Often only the first word is used, so plates and twist by themselves become the colloquialisms for "feet" and "girl".
Back slang
Back slang is simply the practice of using words spelled in reverse, e.g. yob for "boy" or ecilop for "police".
Polari
Polari is a variety of slang used by gay men and lesbians in Britain and the United Kingdom, which has a history going back at least a hundred years.

CONCLUSION
To sum up, slang is widespread phenomenon in english, but, despite its pervasiveness, it has been marginalized or neglected in linguistics. It exhabit the same word-formation mechannismsas the standard language. In others words, its the result of well-established grammatical rules and out side regular grammar. In slang interally organized in the terms of semantic relation anh lexical fields, it is rather disorganized, complex lexicon made up of vague words and polysemous expression. In to attemp to describe slang. There is a general tendency to streat it as a merely social concept reinfocing cohesiveness within a group ,or as a lever of usage stylistically neutral language.
