Abstract

The article deals with definitions of jargon in Slovene and selected foreign linguistic literature and its representation in the Slovene dictionary 'Slovar slovenskega knjižnega jezika', Slovene terminological dictionaries and in two Croatian terminological dictionaries for comparison purposes. In foreign literature the jargon terms are also described as slang or parlance.
According to Slovene linguistic theory jargon terminology is used mostly in oral communication within a certain profession or field. The representation of jargon terms in 'Slovar slovenskega knjižnega jezika' could be enhanced by indicating the profession or field in which a particular term is used.
This article classifies jargon terms as found in Slovene terminological dictionaries according to origin, variety and register. The article proposes classification with at least two subvarieties indicating register: formal technical speech and informal technical speech .
