The international conference “‘Youth Speech’: Evolving Uses and Representations” (« Le ‘langage des jeunes’ : évolution des usages et représentations ») that will be held at the University of Vienna May 16-17, 2024 aims to bring together researchers whose work examines French contemporary urban vernaculars from different perspectives, with a special focus on the evolution of these linguistic and social phenomena. Theoretical, methodological, and empirical approaches will provide valuable insight to the study of these language practices.

·      Cyril Trimaille (Université Grenoble Alpes): « Décrire et comprendre les dynamiques sociolinguistiques dans les pratiques langagières juvéniles : pluralité d’approches, pluralité d'apports »
·      Zsuzsanna Fagyal (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign): “Sociophonetic variation in interaction: peer-group dynamics in youth language corpora”
