Abstract:

This volume sets out to foreground the issues of youth identity in the
context of current sociolinguistic and discourse research on identity
construction. Based on detailed empirical analyses, the twelve
chapters offer examinations of how youth identities from late
childhood up to early twenties are locally constructed in text and
talk. The settings and types of social organization investigated range
from private letters to graffiti, from peer group talk to video clips,
from schoolyard to prison. Comparably, a wide range of languages is
brought into focus, including Danish, German, Greek, Japanese, and
Turkish. Drawing on various discourse analytic paradigms
(e.g. Critical Discourse Analysis, Conversation Analysis), the
contributions examine and question notions with currency in the field,
such as young people's linguistic creativity and resistance to
mainstream norms. At the same time, they demonstrate the embeddedness
of constructions of youth identities in local activities and
communities of practice where they interact with other social
identities and factors, in particular gender and ethnicity.
