Semantic change is an important part of African American slang and involves two mechanisms: figuration and shifting. Both are enormously productive and account for numerous slang expressions based on standard English. This paper presents these processes in detail. Partially drawing from the author’s earlier publications, the presentation is based on lexical material from a sizable database of citations from contemporary African American sources collected through extensive fieldwork in the United States in recent years.

The paper presents an overview of the UG Slang Project. Started in 2007 in the Department of Sociolinguistics and Lexicography (now the UG Sociolinguistics Laboratory), this ongoing research project is aimed at collecting and describing slang used by students of the University of Gdańsk and, by extension, current Polish slang. The paper describes the foundations, goals, methods, and results of the project, including the critically acclaimed scholarly dictionary, Slang UG: Słownik slangu studentów Uniwersytetu Gdańskiego, published in 2011.
