Secondary Research

The article i read was about slang in language. It tell about how slang is used in music in negative and postive  ways.  This answers one of my research questions on where does most of the slang come from. It is a main thing that young adults  get slang from. This helped me with learning where i some times get my slang words from. I think slang is a widely used dialect. Also that is sometime used by all races, adults and children. So this article has many helpful questions.

To get answer my questions to my questions i plan to use research articles that have been written about slang. With these articles i am planning to find how and why slang is used. Also, i plan to use some of the 9th graders at Dhs. The use a lot of slang so they should know why they use it. Where they learned to speak it also where it came from.
