The Routledge Handbook of Language and Youth Culture (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

The Routledge Handbook of Language and Youth Culture offers the first essential grounding of critical youth studies within sociolinguistic research. Young people are often seen to be at the frontline of linguistic creativity and pioneering communicative technologies. Their linguistic practices are considered a primary means of exploring linguistic change as well as the role of language in social life, such as how language and identity, ideology and power intersect.

Bringing together leading and cutting-edge perspectives from thought leaders across the globe, this handbook:

• addresses how young people's cultural practices, as well as forces like class, gender, ethnicity and race, influence language
• considers emotions, affect, age and ageism, materiality, embodiment and the political youth, as well as processes of unmooring language and place
• critically reflects on our understandings of terms such as 'language', 'youth' and 'culture', drawing on insights from youth studies to help contextualise age within power dynamics
• features examples from a wide range of linguistic contexts such as social media and the classroom, as well as expressions such as graffiti, gestures and different musical genres including grime and hip-hop

Providing important insights into how young people think, feel, act, and communicate in the complexity of a polarised world, The Routledge Handbook of Language and Youth Culture is an invaluable resource for advanced students and researchers in disciplines including sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, multilingualism, youth studies and sociology.
