  Article:   YOUTH TALK IN SOCIOLINGUISTIC LITERATURE.

Authors:  DIANA ROXANA COTRĂU. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  This paper aims to review some of the sociolinguistic concepts and tenets touching on the issue of teenage talk. We intend to enumerate as well as discuss the theoretical and practical evidence that sociolinguistics have amassed over the more recent years of research either as central or adjacent to their object of linguistic interest. Evidence has been sought in studies pertaining to such sociolinguistic micro-topics as the acquisition of language during early socialization, use of gender marked language, the functional linguistic use of ethnicity as a cultural and generational badge, language as a cultural index, the language of solidarity and power, teenage language and the social network theory, teenage talk as an oppressed language reflecting a minority status and relative powerlessness and institutional pressures and reaction.
