Abstract:

Most journal articles, edited volumes and monographs on youth language
practices deal with one specific variety, one geographical setting, or with
one specific continent. This volume bridges these different studies, and it
approaches youth language from a much broader angle. A global framework and a
diversity of methodologies enable a wider perspective that gives room to
comparisons of youth’s manipulations and linguistic agency, transnational
communicative practices and language contact scenarios. The research presented
addresses structural features of everyday talk and text, youth identity issues
related to specific purposes and contexts, and sociocultural emphases on
ideologies and belonging.

Combining insights into sociolinguistic and structural features of youth
language, the volume includes case studies from Asia (Indonesia), Australia
and Oceania (Arnhem Land, New Ireland), South America (the Amazon, Chile,
Argentina), Europe (Germany, Spain) and Africa (Uganda, Nigeria, DR Congo,
Central African Republic, South Africa). It expands on existing publications
and offers a more comparative and "global" approach, without a division of
youth’s strategies in terms of geographical space or language family. This
collection, including a conceptual introduction, is of interest to scholars
from several linguistic subfields working in different regional contexts as
well as sociologists and anthropologists working in the field of adolescence
and youth studies.
