| Sep 1, 2011 at 15:29 | comment | added | Un francophone | @Fx, vernacular seems to mean vernaculaire, at least if you look in Webster and in the TLFi, they are used in the same contexts -- from linguistic to biology -- with similar meanings. Patois and jargon are nearer to the meaning in linguistic than argot. | |
| Sep 1, 2011 at 13:51 | comment | added | F'x | Pour une définition en français d'argot, le TLFi donne : « Langage ou vocabulaire particulier qui se crée à l'intérieur de groupes sociaux ou socio-professionnels déterminés, et par lequel l'individu affiche son appartenance au groupe et se distingue de la masse des sujets parlants ». | |
