How can I ask if some words are slang or contractions?

I just posted a question about '하고픈' and '하고파' and I wanted to title the question in Korean this way:

Are '하고픈' and '하고파' slang or contractions?

I think I can say...

'하고픈'이랑 '하고파' = '하고픈' and '하고파'
and
속어 또는 수축이에요? = "Are they slang or contractions?"

But putting those two together confuses me. I just don't know the correct particles to use, especially because there is a compound subject "A and B".

'하고픈'이랑 '하고파'는 속어 또는 수축이에요?
"A and B C or D are?"

    1. contractions in language = 줄임말, 준말, 축약어. "수축" is generally used to describe physical status like "심장은 끊임없이 수축하고 이완한다", etc.

    2. '하고픈'이랑 '하고파'는 속어 또는 수축이에요?

    하고픈/이랑/ 하고파/는/ 속어 또는 줄임말이에요?

    The compound subject : '하고픈'이랑 '하고파' (A and B)
    The subject marker/particle : '-는'
