5. Conclusions
We can conclude by stating that Romanian slang, compared with slang vocabularies in English, represents technical (and specialized) words rather poorly; the first reason seems to be its being much less developed from a strictly numerical angle. On the other hand, the so-called slang of computer (very much like the slang or argot of several other technical fields) can hardly be called slang proper; it is at best a type of jargon, mainly through its in-mate, insider quality.
The expressiveness of the terms is, in both cases, often fairly pregnant; so, we think that their valencies, subtypes and issues of detail should be studied more thoroughly by Romanian linguists (and, hopefully, better glossed by lexicographers). Although appearing later and occurring in a smaller number, the terms of technical and scientific derivation that are now part of Romanian slang and subcolloquial vocabulary are interesting enough to justify such an effort of research and documentation.
