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.
