Метонимический перенос как способ образования единиц сленга и профессиональной лексики в канадском варианте английского языка

Abstract

Slang units and professionalisms of Canadian English form a divergent layer in the lexico-semantic system as they denote objects of local life and Canadian popular traditions. Both slang and professional lexics are functionally restricted registers of the modern English vocabulary, current in certain social groups. The given units, being paradigmatically active, come into semantic contacts with diatopically different words.
