Youth language in the German Democratic Republic: Its diversity and distinctiveness
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 December 2008
Abstract
This article provides an overview of Jugendsprache, youth language, as spoken in the German Democratic Republic, a variety far less studied than its West German cousin. Attitudes toward and perceptions of GDR youth language are treated, showing far greater diversity than previous Western discussions have found. More importantly, this study provides empirical data from a variety of sources for a sociolect previously largely lacking such evidence.
