Mmmmh!? Ok ... No.1

The way kids speak is getting more and more out of control?! The changes society go hand-in-hand with those in language. Here, the creation of ›ethnolects,‹ a trend found in Germany’s urban centers with larger migrant populations, really stands out. What influence do schools, the media, socio-economic level and migration have? All of the statistical information gathered through dedicated field studies are explored and graphically presented.  

The first volume concentrates on the language used by youth in a general sense, looking at its features and traits, its history and development, and in this way offering an introduction of the topic.

The second volume focuses on the influence of different media on the way kids speak, such as television and the internet. Which tonality is dominant? Does the media influence the relationship the youth has to language or do individual media forms change to adapt to the way kids speak?

The third and last volume looks to open a (public) discourse about youth language. Involving the thoughts of society at large on the subject, scientific research is also considered here. The volume offers critique and presents a picture as to how the consequences of this trend in language could play out in the future.
