How do languages develop slang?

390 viewsOther

My little cousin and I seem like we speak different languages and have different meanings for all different words. Even though I’m technical “Gen Z”, he just turned 9 and already has his own vocabulary that he learned at school. My mom says it was the same for her and I. Can someone explain if there is an actual science behind this?

Check out the Hidden Brain podcast episode called “Slanguage” about how slang and language relate. Fascinating.
