We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate. In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query. To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.html.

Subject: Young People's Varieties
There are reports for a number of Australian languages (Tiwi, Dyirbal,
Gurindji, Warlpiri, Djambarrpuyngu, etc) of intensive aged-based variation
- that is, that the speech of young people differs in many respects from
that of older generations in syntax, morphology and often also lexicon.
Some of the differences can be attributed to contact with English (e.g.
preference for SVO constituent order over free order) but others can't.
I am looking for references and reports of similar ''young people's
varieties'' from elsewhere in the world.
I will provide a summary of responses.
Thanks in advance,
Claire Bowern

Subject: Discourse in Spanish-Speaking-World Media
Dear Colleagues:
My name is Gonzalo Martínez Camino. I am a Professor at
Universidad de Cantabria (Spain). Currently, I am working with
a group of linguists from different Spanish universities on
the language that is used in the media in the Spanish speaking
world. We are just starting with this project and we want,
first of all, to build up our corpus. In order to do that, we
have chosen six countries: Argentine, Chile, Cuba, Ecuador,
Mexico, and Spain. We would like to collect the following
types of materials:
1) Talk shows where young people appear talking freely and
spontaneously (jovenes que hablan espontáneamente).
2) Talk shows where SMS messages are used.
3) TV and radio advertising (primetime).
4) Magazines for young people (revistas especializadas en un
público joven).
5) Newspapers and other publications that are distributed to
the university community without charge (Prensa
universitaria de distribución gratuita)
6) Newspapers (quality and popular press)
7) Classified ads that appear in any of the types of
publications cited above (Anuncios por palabras que
aparezcan en cualquier tipo de prensa citado
anteriormente.)
I would appreciate it very much if someone could tell me how I
can collect these materials during the second half of May in
the above mentioned five Latin American countries.
Thank you very much.
