Keywords: linguistic informatics; jargon; terminology

Summary/Abstract: As pointed out in the title, the informatics jargon is represented by two linguistic aspects: the first, illustrated in this article and in which metaphor takes a central position, is accessible only to specialists, fundamentally expressing a terminology parallel to the official one; another level of the jargon, which has been overlooked, represents the pure colloquial variant, being motivated by discursive and stylistic strategies of communication through the Internet, created by the adolescents’ generation and characterised by a certain linguistic extravagance.
