Abstract
The present study investigates spoken colloquial hybrid terms and expressions used amongst university students in Jordan, from a sociolinguistic perspective. The study attempts to explain attitudes and the extent of use by students at Yarmouk University, during Arabic discourse. This was achieved by means of questionnaires and interviewing students. The collected data were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. The study revealed that students highly use colloquial hybrid terms and expressions. Results also show that the use of colloquial hybrid terms and expressions is tightly related to social factors, like, age and gender; as these terms and expressions are mostly used by students aged between 18 and 20 years old, moreover, by females more than males.
