Borrowings in English Prison Argots: A Sociolinguistic Analysis

 

Abstract

 

This research examines the historical development and modern usage of borrowings in English prison argots. Prison argots, as language variants formed in closed social groups, include words borrowed from various ethnic and linguistic groups. The article analyzes the main sources of borrowings in the prison system, their adaptation processes, and sociolinguistic significance. Research results demonstrate that borrowings in English prison argots are predominantly derived from Indo-European, African, and Caribbean languages.

Keywords: prison argots, borrowings, social dialectology, criminological linguistics, language of closed communities
