 Item — Box: 257, Folder: 4
Identifier: FA 1 Item 2795

Scope and Contents note

When Moore came to Brigham Young University from Iowa, she had to adjust to a new vocabulary. She explores the different slang terms and usages that exist in Utah and Iowa. Discusses how slang terms for fashion, dating, and food differ between the two states. Explains the purposes of slang, which are to show standing or acceptance, exclude outsiders, and become distinguished from older generations. Created by Kristelle Moore while enrolled in Kristi Bell's English 391 class during winter semester of 2004 at Brigham Young University.
