Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to present and analyze slang ethnonyms in French. These are lexical units used to denominate different nations by means of nonstandard language. To achieve this objective, a lexicographic corpus was built that embraced slang dictionaries and also general dictionaries of the French language. The slang ethnonyms were analyzed quantitatively and formally. The paper discusses the findings regarding the spelling, phonetic and morphological features.
