The analyses do not focus on an idealized speaker, but on interlocutors within their specific life-worlds. Using different speaking styles young people communicate various identities, memberships and situative affiliations. Critical lexicography, ethnography of communication, stilistics, socio-linguistics, semantics and recently also research related to computer-mediated communication constitute various strands of research on youth languages which will play a role at the conference in Freiburg 2011. We welcome abstracts for papers that cover aspects within all areas of youth languages research. These include, but are not limited to, the following topics: -Sociolects and cultural stylization -Social networks -Youth languages and media -Youth languages in comparison -Applied youth language research The following plenary speakers have kindly accepted an invitation: Penelope Eckert, Stanford: The emergence of adolescent language Jannis Androutsopoulos, Hamburg: Youth Language as Structure, Performance and Ideology Jugendsprache als Struktur, Performanz und Ideologie Christa Dürscheid, Zürich: Youth and informal writing Jugendliche und informelle Schriftlichkeit Marjorie Goodwin, Los Angeles: The hidden life of girls Jens Normann Jorgensen, Copenhagen: Who Has the Right to Do What With Whose Language? - Language Access and Availability among Late Modern Urban Youth Eva Neuland, Wuppertal: Research on Youth Languages: Traditional and new subject fields Die Erforschung der Jugendsprachen.
