Several linguistics elements with regards to phonetics, inflection, word building and syntax are common for the language of majority of Poles living here, regardless of their age. Lexis is a sphere of significant generational differences; nevertheless it also includes a number of lexical entities characteristic for all users of Polish Lithuanian. The basic difference lies in the expressiveness of the youth language.
