  Article:   GLOBALIZATION ACCOMODATED BY YOUTH LANGUAGE.

Authors:  DIANA ROXANA COTRĂU. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  This paper aims to provide and discuss the evidence that young people are linguistic members of society adept, individually or in fellowship (as group members), at shaping and reflecting through language a process that is primordially viewed as political and cultural: globalization. The proof has been sought in such instances of their focal activities that most generously offer visibility to their expertise as linguistic producers: Internet chat, with its chat broadcast subsidiary, and graffiti. If the one is rather private and elitistic and tends to fragment interactants in ever smaller aggregates even while it unites youth worldwide by effacing spatial limits or boundaries, the other is par excellence public and programmatically encroaches upon mainstream space by reassigning it new meanings.
