Journal Title: Argotica - Year 2012, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
This study is based on a field work; it deals with the way of speaking among the French youth. It may wonder how young people from labour class are talking about different parts of body: skins, head, leg, genitals, muscles, hair. We shall see what the most used expressions to name are or qualify all the physical aspects of the life; from the way to feed or to make love to the practise of sports and physical activities. This field survey focuses on teenagers and young adults living in the northern suburbs of Paris. The language back slang, used by people from suburbs is dominated by terms virile. We suggest showing the most used words in a borough of Val d’Oise. We interest mainly to the working-class of the cities of Sarcelles, Écouen, Ézanville, and Villiers-le-Bel. It seems that in the poorest districts of Val d’Oise the back slang called verlan language is constituted by French slang, Arabic language and more recently nouchi. The nouchi is slang from Ivory Coast appeared in France during the decade 2000. The popular language keeps some words from the old slang, but we watching that each generation and wave of migrants bring new words, likened to the local language.
