La langue de banlieue : de l’oral à l’écrit

Authors

Christelle Lottereie, Université Michel de Montaigne – Bordeaux 3

Abstract

Behind the existence of a social malaise in the suburbs and of numerous stereotypes, a linguistic innovation characteristic of young people has developed. Most of these young people, who consider themselves excluded from society, have created their own social and linguistic space. They have appropriated the French language and transformed it after introducing their own identity marks. The resulting language turns out to be a linguistic refuge for identity, which leads to the finding of a subjective stability.
