Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

The language of young people is central in sociolinguistic research, as it is
seen to be innovative and a primary source of knowledge about linguistic
change and the role of language. This volume brings together a team of leading
scholars to explore and compare linguistic practices of young people in
multilingual urban spaces, with analyses ranging from grammar to ideology. It
includes fascinating examples from cities in Europe, Africa, Canada and the US
to demonstrate how young people express their identities through language, for
example in hip-hop lyrics and new social media. This is the first book to
cover the topic from a globally diverse perspective, and it investigates how
linguistic practices across different communities intersect with age,
ethnicity, gender and class. In doing so it shows commonalities and
differences in how young people experience, act and relate to the contemporary
social, cultural and linguistic complexity of the twenty-first century.
