Examining the relationship between online chatting and PISA reading literacy trends (2000-2018)

Strong claims have regularly been made in the popular media about the alleged negative effects of young people's language use in written exchanges via digital media (what is known as textese). This is especially believed to affect their reading and writing skills. However, the scientific research literature has hardly confirmed such effects. Its conclusions are generally based on cross-sectional comparisons between individuals who differ in how much they exchange written messages via digital media. In contrast, the present study examines to what extent per-country changes in the prevalence of online chatting coincide with changes in the reading literacy of consecutive student cohorts. This approach presents a novel perspective. The findings relate to data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) surveys conducted during 2000–2018. The data analysis showed a strong correlation between variations in per-country patterns regarding the spread of online chatting during 2000–2018 and changes in the reading literacy of 15-year-olds. Countries with low chatting prevalence in 2009 showed substantial improvement in reading literacy from 2000 to 2009. These trends typically reversed to declines when after 2009, online chatting prevalence sharply increased in those countries. A contrasting pattern applied to countries with high chatting prevalence in 2009 and decelerating growth in online chatting afterward.

Jak miasto mówi do młodych ludzi? – komunikacja Miasta Kielce z uczniami szkół ponadpodstawowych w obszarze promocji wybranych wydarzeń kulturalnych, rozrywkowych i sportowych. Próba analizy zjawiska

Communication of the city with various social groups, in the era of free access to the Internet, on the one hand provides almost infinite possibilities for the selection of channels of content distribution and the tools used in them – on the other hand, however, raises a huge challenge in terms of choosing the right ones, adequate to the expectations of the recipient. In my paper, I focused on the city of Kielce’s communication with secondary school students in the city. I analysed how the city reaches out to young people with its cultural, educational, entertainment, sporting etc. offer, I checked what channels it uses to reach young people and whether it speaks Daria Malicka 104 the “language of young people” in its messages. The second part of the paper is the results of a questionnaire survey of young people in Kielce, talking about which tools and channels are used by young people to communicate, whether the Internet is winning in every area with offline communication and what are the expectations of young people regarding effective communication conducted with their social group.

Orð koma í orða stað. Um sagnorðið fokka og nafnorðið fokk

The article discusses the words fokka (verb) and fokk (noun) in Icelandic. These words have a dual origin in the language. On the one hand, the verb was probably first borrowed from older Danish or Low German already in the 17th century, and the noun later derived from it. On the other hand, the much more recent loanword, E. fuck (verb, noun, exclamation), took the same form in the language, both in writing and pronunciation. This happened even though Icelandic phonotactics and phonology require the short vowel in English words such as butter, hut, luck, etc. to be represented by the Icel. phoneme /ö/, surfacing as [œ], when such words enter the language as loanwords or are pronounced with an Icelandic accent. However, the words fuck and fucking, which started appearing in Icelandic newspapers and magazines around 1970, are almost always pronounced and spelt differently than expected, i.e., with the vowel [ɔ] and spelt fokk, fokking, not with [œ] or spelt *fökk, *fökking. The reason probably is that the older words to a certain extent, both in terms of semantics, use and partly in pronunciation, already occupied the position that the new loanwords were expected to take in the language. However, the older words, fairly low valued, belonging to a low linguistic register and relatively rare, judging from the texts that have been examined, gave in to the new words. The new words were accompanied by pressure from popular culture, the language of young people and supported by high international use and social media. This article discusses the older words fokka and fokk, their history over the past centuries, their meaning, usage and semantic development, and compares them with the newer words derived from E. fuck who took their place, with examples taken to show what happened when the new loanwords met the old ones.

The Impact of Digital Communication in Social Media on Linguistic Transformation in Egyptian Youths: A Study on the Impact of Gender on the Facebook Language

This study aims at analyzing the relationship between gender and response patterns of the transformation in the social media platforms of the ideas, thoughts and information inside the youth groups on Facebook. This research is classified within the framework of descriptive research and depends on the survey and the comparative approaches as auxiliary methods. It uses a content analysis tool. The research sample is divided into two youth groups, whose content is analyzed on Facebook: the “Weird Life” group, distinguished by its diversity, and the group of "good bullies" from October to December 2020. Among the most important results at the level of common linguistic features between males and females, the research revealed that the language of young people on communication sites represents a mixture between verbal expression and visual expression tools. It also found out that young men of both sexes tend to employ vocabulary that is Arabized about the English language in many of their posts on social media, Some of them also use Latin letters and numbers in writing Arabic vocabulary. Moreover, young people in blogging and commenting tend to use vulgar vocabulary that does not take into account common values or traditions. As for the language used by young females, it is characterized by a tendency to use linguistic texts that are not accompanied by pictures or videos. Their language tends to employ the "Arabizi" method in writing Arabic vocabulary with Latin letters or numbers.

Japanese Slang Translation Technique in Indonesian Subtitle Anime Asobi Asobase

Asobi Asobe anime shows the phenomenon of translating slang from the otaku group and the language of young people (wakamono kotoba) in Indonesian subtitles. Slang has links to certain social groups in every culture. Slang translation needs to consider the differences between the social situation of the home culture and the target culture. The proper translation technique is needed in order to be able to translate slang from the source language to the target language. This research intends to describe the techniques used in translating Japanese slang terms in the Indonesian subtitles of the Asobi Asobe anime. The types of translation techniques found are adaptation and modulation. Adaptation is found on 9 data, more than modulation found on 2 data. Adaptation is made by matching Japanese slang words with Indonesian colloquial words, while modulation is made when there are no appropriate equivalents for the Japanese slang words in colloquial Indonesian.

MODERN AND TRADITIONAL KAZAKH SPEECH: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS (according to the lexico-phraseological level)

The article discusses the features of the traditional vocabulary of the Kazakh language, their changes in vocabulary and phraseology. The language of older people living in a single Kazakh environment has been analyzed in comparison with the speech characteristics of Kazakh citizens born since 2000. As a result, it was noted that in the oral language of the younger generation, the norm of written language is often observed, the word is pronounced as it is written, and even new phenomena are emerging that are alien to the norm of the Kazakh language. It was also considered in detail that the language of young people is becoming increasingly difficult, changing to short words and phrases, and the expressiveness of the language of the generation that speaks in a short and concise manner is decreasing. It is shown that such changes in the language do not correspond to the traditional grammatical system, the speech skills of language consumers with a high level of language education, and indicate that the traditional speech of the Kazakh language has changed, separated from the national and traditional character.

｢若者ことば｣ 사용양상 - 2001년과 2019년 「若者ことば」를 중심으로 -

This study attempted to clarify the background of the period and the pattern of language use and the flow by contrasting the existing “young people’s language” and the recent “young people’s language” with the passage of 20 years from the 2000s to the present. In addition, the recent study on the use of “young people’s language” and comparative analysis of “young people’s language” included in 2001 and 2019 Basic Knowledge on Modern Terms” I tried to look at. The brief sum Above, as a result of analyzing the ``young people's language'' contained in Basic Knowledge on Contemporary Terms published in 2001, it was found that Japanese youth were sensitive to fashion and fashion and used a lot of ambiguous expressions that obscure their arguments. This is a marked increase in the number of vocabulary for message terms and Twitter terms through SNS. This can be confirmed that there has been a change in the language use patterns of young people with the trend of the times. mary of the review results is as follows.

Translation of Wakamono Kotoba in the Comic Jujutsu Kaisen by Akutagami Gege

In the field of language, Wakamono Kotoba, the language of young people, often experiences changes significantly over time. These changes are also influenced by the entry of foreign cultures into Indonesia in the Japanese youth association which also influences the mindset and way of socializing among young people. Wakamono Kotoba as a variety of Japanese that is spoken by young people in Japan adds curiosity for further studies. The creation of wakamono kotoba is a form of creativity among young Japanese so that parents and non-Japanese native cannot understand the words in Wakamono Kotoba. The purpose of this research is to provide knowledge to Japanese language learners about Wakamono Kotoba as well as providing information about translation related to Wakamono Kotoba. This research uses qualitative methodology. The result of this study is that there are 75 Wakamono Kotoba data and 7 types of translation methods identified in Jujutsu Kaisen comics vol 1 and 2. From those 75 data, Characteristics of Wakamono Kotoba in terms of word class are found 26 adjectives, 21 verbs, 20 nouns, 5 adverbs, and 3 conjunctions. Furthermore, in terms of Wakamono Kotoba characteristics, researcher found that there were elements of word shortening, changes in sound accompanied by sound lengthening, word reversal, word change, borrowing from a foreign language, special vocabulary and mix in each word class. Of the 7 translation methods, the popular translation method that is the most widely used in this object study is the word-by-word translation method.

Le langage des jeunes : moteur de discrimination ou marque d’identité ?

Young people in the suburbs need to create their own language to symbolically resist the exclusionary relationships maintained against them (social violence, discrimination, racism, exclusion). In addition, we can understand that young people from socioeconomically disadvantaged classes can find in a specific language a way to separate from their place of residence, to belong to a group and thus obtain a positive social identity. There is a group of people who believe that this language is a mark of identity, but there are other people who believe that this language is a driving force of discrimination. What is the relationship between this language of young people and the feeling of exclusion; how young people, through their codified language, challenge and experience this exclusion.

Grammaticalization in Young People's Language

Abstract. Recent research has pointed out that certain grammaticalization phenomena originate in substandard varieties and/or colloquial speech styles. However, the potential of insights to be gained from relating grammaticalization and sociolinguistics still remains largely unexplored. The present paper is an attempt at such an approach, discussing grammaticalization processes in contemporary German youth language (Jugendsprache). On a word formation level, the paper deals with nominal and verbal formatives, denominal conversions, and the use of verb stems as lexical morphemes. Syntactic phenomena include the development of the non-inflected negative null and a new intensifier word order pattern. After highlighting the relevant grammaticalization mechanisms for each of these patterns, the paper discusses the relation between slang creation and grammaticalization, emphasizing the role of expressivity as a discourse-pragmatic motivation for linguistic innovations. Finally, the paper draws attention to connections between youth specific language varieties and language change, and tries to account for the fact that some grammaticalization processes in substandard varieties never reach their potential end point.

THE EFFECT OF INDONESIAN YOUTUBER'S AND VLOGGER'S REGISTER ON YOUNG GENERATION BEHAVIOR

YouTube as one of the most popular online platforms today, has brought millions of videos with a variety of entertaining and useful content and has made millions of internet users get access to YouTube. This benefits the content creators so they are competing to make interesting, unique and high-quality videos. Considering the increasing number of YouTubers and Vloggers appearing in Indonesia along with the large number of subscribers indicates that their emergence has become a new trend among the younger generation today.
 Therefore, this research is worth making to investigate the effect of the variety of Indonesian You Tuber and Vlogger on young people's language behavior. The research data is derived from a number of videos uploaded by IndonesianYoutuber and Vlogger by filtering representative content. To obtain the data on the effect of Indonesian You Tubers and Vlogers on the language behavior of the younger generation, it was carried out through questionnaires, interviews, and observations of youth groups to be able to hear firsthand variety of their languages. The data retrieval is done on sampling method of some contents of Youtuber and Vlogger analyzed, then listening to the language used both verbally and non verbally, after that note-taking and documenting the language variety. The data were qualitatively analyzed by appying several sociolinguistic theories. The results of the analysis were descriptively presented to reveal the variety of languages used by well-known Youtubers and Vlogers such as Atta Halilintar, Ria Ricis, Raffi Ahmad, etc. by using light and easy to understand language such as the word gaeess, kuy, tercyduk 
 Youtuber or Vlogger's style of language has an impact on the language behavior of the younger generation today, where they often adopt their favorite Youtuber language style, especially jargon and slang words that often adorn teenagers' conversations today. However this cannot be said to have a negative effect on language behavior because they are quite selective in absorbing and using the Indonesian Youtuber's and Vlogger's language styles.

HIV-AIDS prevention in the conception of HIV-positive young people.

ABSTRACTOBJECTIVE To analyze the conception of seropositive young people on how to prevent HIV infection.METHODS This is a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with HIV-positive young people whose diagnosis was made in adolescence 5 years ago or less. We followed a semi-structured script containing sociodemographic data and an open question on HIV/AIDS prevention. The interviews were recorded and fully transcribed, then analyzed with the support of the webQDA software. We used the categories that compose the concept of vulnerability as a theoretical basis for data analysis.RESULTS We interviewed 39 young people, 23 girls and 16 boys. Some perceive the prevention of HIV infection only as an individual issue, summarizing it to the use of condoms and self-care. Most of the interlocutors point out educational strategies as the most relevant for prevention but used in a permanent and non-punctual way. In schools, they believe it is necessary to include younger students and their family. Guidelines should be given by people who can use the language of young people and preferably by HIV-positive people, to show the reality of those who have AIDS. In the programmatic field, they suggest intensifying campaigns in the media, distributing condoms in large scale, producing vaccines and medicines that cure. No one mentioned the female condom, the rapid test, nor the availability of sexual and reproductive health care.CONCLUSIONS The qualification and expansion of communication strategies on sexuality in schools is urgent and essential in HIV and AIDS prevention in adolescence, contrary to the current trend of restricting the discussion of these topics in education policies.

본고는 2007년(654어휘)과 2017년(471어휘) 現代用語の基礎知識 ｢若者ことば｣ 를 비교, 분석하여 언어추이 변화율을 조사한 것이다. 2017년 現代用語の基礎知識 ｢若者ことば｣를 의미 분석하고 분류화한 다음 2007년 現代用語の基礎知識 ｢若者ことば｣와 수록 양상 추이를 고찰하였다. 첫째, 2017년 現代用語の基礎知識에 수록된 ｢若者ことば｣ 사용양상은 기분과 말버릇 관련어가 압도적으로 많은 어휘 분포도를 보였다. 이것은 일본 젊은이들 의 언어가 오락과 재미의 기능과 함께 타인이나 자신에 대한 관심이 강한 정신적 으로도 복잡한 젊은이라고 하는 세대의 특징이 언어생활에 반영된 결과라고 생각 된다. 또한 사람을 평가하는 말이나 부정적인 평가의 말이 많았다. 다음으로 놀 이, 행동, 인간 관찰･일상생활, 패션, 성, 식생활, 명사계 순위로 어휘 수가 출현되 었다. 둘째, 2007년과 비교해 보았을 때 가장 많이 소멸된 어휘로는 정신상태어(142) 식생활(64) 행동(57) 오락(54)언어유희･말버릇(51) 성(50) 완곡･애매(28) 인간관찰 어(24) 순서로 나타났다. 셋째, 10년이 지나도 지속성을 유지한 ｢若者ことば｣는 정신상태어(32) 말버릇 관련어(21) 애매･미묘(12) 행동, 놀이(11) 성(10) 패션(7) 인관관찰･일상생활(6) 식 생활, 명사계(4)로 도출되었다. 분석결과로, 지속성 어휘는 10년의 변화에도 자리매김하여, 향후에도 지속적으 로 사용될 것으로 예측할 수 있었고, 또한 ｢若者ことば｣는 시대와 사회를 반영한 다는 것을 보여주었다.

Introduction: Multicultural youth vernaculars in Paris and urban France

The papers in this Special Issue present some of the results of theMulticultural London English/Multicultural Paris Frenchproject, supported by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) from October 2010 to December 2014 and by the FrenchAgence Nationale de la Recherche(ANR) from 2010–2012. The project compared language variation and change in multilingual areas of London and Paris, focusing on the language of young people of recent immigrant origin as well as that of young people whose families had lived in London or Paris for many generations. Similar projects in other European cities have documented the emergence of new ways of speaking and rapid language change in the dominant ‘host’ language, which are attributed to the direct and indirect effects of language contact; see, for example, Wiese 2009 on young people's language in Berlin, Quist 2008 on youth language in Copenhagen, and Svendsen and Røyneland 2008 on Norwegian). In London, young children from diverse linguistic backgrounds tend to acquire English in their peer groups at nursery school rather than from their parents, many of whom do not speak English or are in the early stages of learning English. Since their peers speak a wide range of different languages, the only language the young children have in common is English; and since many of their friends are also acquiring English, there is no clear target model, a high tolerance of linguistic variation, and plenty of scope for linguistic innovation. By the time they reach adolescence, young people's English has stabilized, and many innovations have become part of a new London dialect, now known as Multicultural London English (Cheshire et al., 2013). New urban dialects and language practices such as these have been termed ‘multiethnolects’: they contain a variable repertoire of innovative phonetic, grammatical, and discourse-pragmatic features. In multiethnic peer groups, where local children from many different linguistic backgrounds grow up together, the innovative features are used by speakers of all ethnicities, including those of local descent such as, in London, young monolingual English speakers from Cockney families. Nevertheless they tend to be more frequent in the speech of bilingual young people of recent immigrant origin, and by young speakers with highly multiethnic friendship groups (see further Quist 2008 for an account of the use of features associated with a multiethnolect in conjunction with nonlinguistic ‘markers’ of style, such as tastes in music and preferred ways of dressing). Our project aimed to determine whether a similar outcome had occurred in multicultural areas of Paris.

The influence of the language of new media on the literacy of young people in their school assignments and in leisure

The authors of this research study try to explore the real literacy among young people of today resulting from the influence of the language of new media (especially Facebook and the mobile phone). The impetus for this study comes from frequent complaints that the language of young people has deteriorated due to the negative impact of the language that young people are using in the new media. The authors have done this through an analysis of the way students write in their school assignments and in writings done in their spare time in the new media with regard to (non) existence of the language of new media (such as abbreviations, emoticons and other iconic signs, capitals, dialecticisms, anglicisms, vulgarisms, etc.). In their analysis, the researchers used a computer programme WordSmith Tools 6.0 (Scott 2006). The authors aimed to find out whether or not students in their private language texts use the language of new media (written language with many elements of spoken language and with many abbreviations) and whether or not the students in their school assignments consistently use the standard language without the elements that they normally use in their own language in the new media. The results have shown that secondary school students do consistently write in the standard language in their school assignments, whereas in their leisure activities they use all the elements of the language of new media.

(Mis)interpreting urban youth language: white kids sounding black?

ABSTRACTThe language of young people is often viewed very negatively by some sections of the mainstream media and by some social commentators in the UK. While this is nothing new – older generations routinely despair of how the youth of today are ruining the language – what is different now is the added element of ethnicity, whereby young people of various ethnicities are perceived as using some kind of ‘ghetto grammar’ or ‘Jafaican’ which carry often explicit connotations of ‘sounding black’. This paper challenges the mainstream view by firstly introducing the linguistic take on this emerging Multicultural Urban British English, and then exploring the views of young people themselves on how they use language by taking qualitative data from a linguistic ethnography project involving 14–16-year-olds in a non-mainstream urban educational setting. The young people provide insights into their language that are in complete opposition to the views so often expressed in the media, and which instead suggest that linguistic features that were previously strongly associated with specific ethnicities are being used in new and innovative ways. Refreshingly, it would appear that for many young people ethnicity is simply not a consideration, at least in relation to language.

Soluzioni legali o scelta libera: quale politica adottare verso gli anglicismi nell’italiano contemporaneo?

LEGAL SOLUTIONS OR FREE CHOICE: WHAT POLICY SHOULD BE ADOPTED TOWARDS ANGLICISMS IN CONTEMPORARY ITALIAN? In contemporary Italian, just like in other languages, numerous english words are used. they are particularly frequent in the terminology of some branches of science, such as computer science, as well as in the language of young people. In this article, we discuss the issue of an appropriate policy to adopt towards these foreign lexical items. Different approaches to the problem are presented: the liberal approach, in which linguists should only describe linguistic realities rather than prescribe the “right” choices; the conscious approach, in which every speaker of Italian should reflect on his or her lexical choices; and the most radical approach, in which some official solutions are to be introduced. One of these solutions is the project of the Consiglio Superiore della Lingua Italiana, whose task would be to protect the Italian language against loanwords of english origin.

The proposed research project explores the structure of nicknames functioning in a microcommunity of young people connected with academic environment. It also aims to present and describe multiple ways of creating nicknames, the influence of media and mass culture promoted by it. It also touches the subject of foreign elements, mainly English, penet¬rating the everyday language of young people.

Doing the programme or doing me? The pains of youth imprisonment

This article draws on research about young people's responses to being governed in secure residential facilities. It focuses on young people's expressions of agency as they ‘do programme’ in these facilities. It points to the ways that young people's language of choice and responsibility reflects their performances of ‘programme’ as they manage complicated emotions about change and growth. It is argued that there are various ‘splits’ that exist between official notions of programme compliance and those embodied and understood by young people. The article illuminates some of the more invisible pains experienced by young people in custody by revealing the intractability of the discourses of self-control in these young people's lives.

The Adolescent Life Goal Profile Scale: Development of a New Scale for Measurements of Life Goals Among Young People

In this study we developed and psychometrically tested the Adolescent Life Goal Profile Scale (ALGPS). This scale provides a new approach to the measurements of personal goals, meaning, structure and direction in adolescent lives—a focus that falls in line with the increasing awareness of the prospects and benefits of congruent living. The objective is to measure the perceived importance of four life goal categories (Relations, Generativity, Religion and Achievements) and the perceived attainability of these goals. The ALGPS is a psychological tool that can be useful for general adolescent research and as an approach to individual mental health care. Pilot study 1 consisted of focus group interviews as a methodological approach to better understand the culture and language of young people in Norway. In pilot study 2, we tested out a preliminary version of the ALGPS on a high school sample (N = 140) based on the results from pilot study 1. In the main study, we used the ALGPS and an accompanying test battery for validation purposes. All tests were administered to a new high school sample (N = 244). Exploratory factor analyses supported a 16 + 16 item version of the ALGPS (16 life goals and 16 attainability ratings). The four life goal categories were reproduced with low intercorrelations among the factors. This model was cross-validated in a new sample (N = 294) using confirmatory factor analysis. Further evidence for reliability and convergent validity is presented and applications are discussed.
