SCHOOL REALIA IN THE UKRAINIAN TEENAGER CONSCIENCE: A SOCIOLINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVE (Shkil'ni realiyi u svidomosti ukrajins'kykh pidlitkiv (za rezul'tatamy sotsiolingvistychnogo doslidzhennja)]
The paper discusses the results of a complex sociolinguistic research (including polling, observation, and associative experiment) aimed at looking into the peculiarities of the teenage social idiom formation and functioning. The features specific for school reality in the Ukrainian child mind are tracked down. School vernacular is to be viewed through the prism of 'teenage rebellion' which, on the one hand, calls forth the domination of the negative evaluative vocabulary in the teenage idiom, and on the other hand, determines the peculiarity of the linguocreative processes typical for this category of speakers.
