Among many different types of usage labels in the foreign language dictionary, pragmatic labels can function as reliable guidelines for the appropriate use of the words. Especially restrictive usage labels such as slang or taboo can tell the users when and to whom the word can or cannot be used. This study aims to analyze the use of the slang and its related labels in 3 major English-Korean (E-K) dictionaries comparing the corresponding labels on the headwords which begin with b- in OALD8. The results of this research show that: 1) the analyszd English-Korean dictionaries do not provide systematic information on meaning of each usage label in the dictionaries; 2) many of the labels in the entries of OALD8 are not listed on the entries of the E-K dictionaries; 3) the E-K dictionaries show Korean equivalents of neutral meanings, rather than slangy ones; 4) regional labels are used in combination with slang related labels in the E-K dictionaries without consistency; and 5) the position of labels in the E-K dictionaries lacks consistency.
