Abstract
This dissertation which is titled On the Margins of Colloquialism: Analysis of Jargon, Slang, Idioms, Clichés and Acronyms within Register Theory in Selected English Texts is an attempt to analyse jargon, slang, idioms, clichés and acronyms to draw a boundary among them. There is a sort of overlap, in terms of uses and investigations, among these examined colloquial elements such as the overlap of jargon with acronyms, acronyms with slang, slang with jargon, and idioms with clichés. Therefore, those who are interested in the use and the study of these colloquial elements probably do not successfully draw a demarcation line among them, and they likely select a certain colloquial element with an inappropriate label. This study makes use of the qualitative approach in conducting the process of analysis of the examined colloquial elements. To verify the hypotheses and answer the raised research questions, this study has adopted an exclusively designed model that can manage the process of analysis of all the examined colloquial elements that are extracted from twenty texts (ten written texts and ten recorded authentic interactions) of 10 different registers. This analysis is helpful to determine the extent to which jargon, slang, idioms, clichés and acronyms overlap with each other, to identify their exclusive characteristics, and consequently to draw demarcation lines among them. This study comes up with the conclusions that the overlap among jargon, slang, idioms, clichés and acronyms is a serious problematic issue and usually causes misunderstanding when they are used or studied. Another concluding point is that linguistic features, contextual functions, the nature of community in which they are used, and the degree of informality of each of the examined colloquial elements can highly contribute in drawing a demarcation line among them.
