Everyday Languaging: Collaborative Research on the Language Use of Children and Youth

by Lian Malai Madsen (Editor), Martha Sif Karrebæk (Editor), Janus Spindler Møller (Editor)

Overview

This book contributes to current theory building within applied linguistics and sociolinguistics by looking at the role of language in the lives, realities, and understandings of real children and youth in an urban setting. Collectively the studies amount to a comprehensive account of how urban children and youth construct, reactivate, negotiate, contest, and navigate between different linguistic and sociocultural norms and resources.
