Abstract:

Recently, across Europe a large amount of attention has been paid to new 
language varieties used by adolescents from immigrant backgrounds, often 
dubbed 'ethnolects'. This study focuses on a number of conversations 
involving adolescents of a Turkish, Moroccan and Dutch background from 
Amsterdam. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used to find out 
whether the use of discourse particles maar and toch, and linguistic style in a 
more general sense, could be related to identity construction. 

There are a number of interesting differences between the ethnic groups, 
especially in the use of the phrases "je weet toch" and "ja toch"; the first one 
is used to a much larger degree by speakers of Turkish and Moroccan 
background, whereas the second is completely absent from the Dutch 
participants' speech. However, detailed conversation analysis shows that 
what speakers do is not determined by their ethnicity, and speaker agency 
plays an important role in identity construction. They use linguistic styles as 
tools in order to align or disalign with their interlocutor and/or particular groups 
in society. Sometimes they turn to 'performative' language use and it remains 
unclear whether they voice themselves or others, allowing them to speak out 
about socially controversial subjects.
