Divadelné profesionalizmy očami lingvistky
THEATRE-RELATED PROFESSIONAL JARGON AS VIEWED BY A LINGUIST

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the terminology category of the so-called professionalisms, which are used in verbal communication by the professionals within the Slovak theatre. The aim is to highlight to readers this specific vocabulary which oscillates between official and non-standard language (jargon). So far this issue has not been included in professional or general Slovak dictionaries. At the same time this is an attempt to highlight the overall context of the contemporary Slovak vocabulary production from the perspective of a linguistics specialist and, subsequently, incorporate theatre-related professionalisms into the dictionary. The text refers to a dictionary that is being prepared right now by our interdisciplinary linguistic and theatre-related team to pay homage to the upcoming one-hundred-year anniversary of the establishment of Slovak professional theatre.
