Abstract
Nowadays, linguists invariably show a great interest in the whole variety of uncodified vocabulary. Researchers view the language as a kind of “mirror” of the processes and transformations taking place in society, since it is in the language that reflects the current state and development of the human community. It is the language and all its lexical composition that most vividly reacts to what is happening in society through transformations and changes in structure and functioning. Non-standard words and expressions are now increasingly serving as means of expressing the positive emotional mood of the author of the statement, and their use in speech contributes to the optimization of communicative interaction in the context of informal interpersonal communication. In modern linguistic literature, as in society as a whole, one can observe an ambiguous attitude towards the problem of active penetration of words and expressions of uncodified vocabulary into various styles of speech, there is no unified approach to assessing the ongoing transformations in determining the place and the function of uncodified vocabulary in the linguistic and communicative space. An attempt is made in the work to identify the features of the functioning and translation of uncodified vocabulary from English into Russian.

Summary
The modern stage of development of human society is characterized by the rapidly proceeding democratization of all spheres of human life, which leads to an increase in freedom of speech and self-expression. Taking into account the constantly increasing process of globalization,it seems relevant to comprehensively consider slang in a comparative aspect on the material of several languages, for example, English and Russian. Research in this direction, in our opinion, will significantly improve the linguistic competence of native speakers of the Russian language, including those who study English, will make a certain contribution to the development and improvement of the culture of speech, as well as the formation of communicative tact, a sense of the communicative expediency of using slang units in various conditions of interpersonal and intercultural communication
