GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES ON YOUTH LANGUAGE PRACTICES...

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.
