Volume 5 This is a new and enlarged edition of Ben Rampton's
ground-breaking study of sociolinguistic processes in urban youth
culture. It focuses on language crossing - the use of Panjabi by
adolescents of African-Caribbean and Anglo descent, the use of
Creole by adolescents with Panjabi and Anglo backgrounds, and the
use of stylized Indian English. Its central question is: how far
and in what ways do these intricate processes of language sharing
and exchange help to overcome race stratification and contribute to
a new sense of mixed youth, class and neighbourhood community? Ben
Rampton produces detailed ethnographic and interactional analyses
of spontaneous speech data, and integrates the discussion of
particular incidents with theories of discourse, code-switching,
social movements, resistance and ritual drawn from
sociolinguistics, sociology, anthropology and cultural studies.
Vivid descriptions of adolescent life in youth clubs and school
playgrounds provide an important insight into the ways in which
young people manage to 'live with difference', and full
consideration is given to crossing's critical implications for
education policy.
