Most journal articles, edited volumes and monographs on youth
language practices deal with one specific variety, one geographical
setting, or with one specific continent. This volume bridges these
different studies, and it approaches youth language from a much
broader angle. A global framework and a diversity of methodologies
enable a wider perspective that gives room to comparisons of
youth's manipulations and linguistic agency, transnational
communicative practices and language contact scenarios. The
research presented addresses structural features of everyday talk
and text, youth identity issues related to specific purposes and
contexts, and sociocultural emphases on ideologies and belonging.
Combining insights into sociolinguistic and structural features of
youth language, the volume includes case studies from Asia
(Indonesia), Australia and Oceania (Arnhem Land, New Ireland),
South America (the Amazon, Chile, Argentina), Europe (Germany,
Spain) and Africa (Uganda, Nigeria, DR Congo, Central African
Republic, South Africa). It expands on existing publications and
offers a more comparative and "global" approach, without a division
of youth's strategies in terms of geographical space or language
family. This collection, including a conceptual introduction, is of
interest to scholars from several linguistic subfields working in
different regional contexts as well as sociologists and
anthropologists working in the field of adolescence and youth
studies.
