Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the question from1 to 10. Level of vocabulary Most languages have several levels of vocabulary that may be used by the same speakers. In English, at least three have been identified and described. Standard usage of those word and expressions understood, listed and accepted by a majority of the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such these words and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialism, on the other hand, is familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations. Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language. Slang, however, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as an appropriate formal usage by the majority. Colloquial expressions and even slang maybe found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified. Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than in writing. Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech, some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories. Every generation seem to require its own set of words to describe familiar objects and events. It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the creation of a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups; third, the association among the subgroups and the majority population. Finally, it is worth noticing that the terms “standard”, “colloquial”, and “slang” exist only as abstract labels for scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language http://megabook.vn/ will be aware that they are using colloquial or slang expressions.
