Abstract
The aim of this thesis was to analyze the use of criminal slang in two TV series, Peaky Blinders and Prison Break, focusing on its meaning and function based on sociological and linguistic features within the distinct contexts of an American prison and the British criminal underworld. The thesis begins with a theoretical section that examines the origins, classification, and sociological and linguistic functions of slang. Following the theoretical part, small research was carried out by analyzing 10 episodes from each series. A total of 31 examples from Peaky Blinders and 39 examples from Prison Break were analyzed. Despite the different time periods and settings of the two series, the analysis revealed similarities in the function of slang, such as the use of slang to signal group membership, using informal and offensive slang terms as well as the incorporating playful, humorous and shocking connotations. Besides similarities, the research also uncovered main difference in these two series, regarding different word formation processes prevalent in each series.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj ovog završnog rada bio je analizirati uporabu kriminalnog slenga u dvije TV serije, Peaky Blinders i Prison Break, fokusirajući se na njihovo značenje i funkciju, temeljenu na sociološkim i lingvističkim obilježjima, u različitim kontekstima američkog zatvora te britanskog kriminalnog podzemlja. Rad započinje teorijskim dijelom koji ispituje podrijetlo, klasifikaciju te sociološke i lingvističke funkcije slenga. Nakon teorijskog dijela provedeno je manje istraživanje analizom 10 epizoda iz svake serije. Analiziran je ukupno 31 primjer slenga iz serije Peaky Blinders i 39 primjera iz serije Prison Break. Unatoč različitim vremenskim razdobljima i okruženjima ove dvije serije, analiza je pokazala sličnosti u funkciji slenga, poput korištenja slenga kako bi se označila pripadnost određenoj grupi, korištenje neformalnih i uvredljivih izraza, kao i uključivanje razigranih, humorističnih i šokirajućih konotacija. Osim sličnosti, istraživanje je također otkrilo glavnu razliku između ove dvije serije, a tiče se različitih procesa tvorbe riječi koji prevladavaju u svakoj od njih.
