Jugendsprache in Barcelona und ihre Darstellung in den Kommunikationsmedien

Youth media present socio-cultural tendencies which young people reflect in their language and thus often set linguistic trends. Or does it work the other way round? In either case, there is a close connection between youth culture and youth language, which in Catalonia is heightened by the encounter between two languages and cultures, Spanish and Catalan. Against his background, the author contrasts and compares linguistic products of young Catalans with the language used in youth broadcasts and publications in Catalan communication media.
