Abstract
This paper presents an interdisciplinary study on the interface between young people, their language use, group belonging and urban
space. Relevant literature from the fields of sociolinguistics and urban geography is reviewed and integrated, focusing on
language, identity and place. The outcomes are based on on-site interviews and focus group meetings that were used to explore and
explain the in-depth meanings of our assumption: language is a situated practice. Participants reported to adjust their language
use to place ‘automatically’, indicating the awareness of unwritten norms. Furthermore, being in or out of place and adjustment of
language use is merely a function of the presence of other people. It is concluded that the space where young people find
themselves is crucial for physical and social distance between the self and others and, therefore, the way language is used.
期刊介绍：
The Dutch Journal of Applied Linguistics (DuJAL) focuses on promoting Dutch and Belgian work in applied linguistics among an international audience, but also welcomes contributions from other countries. It caters for both the academic society in the field and for language and communication experts working in other contexts, such as institutions involved in language policy, teacher training, curriculum development, assessment, and educational and communication consultancy. DuJAL is the digital continuation of Toegepaste Taalwetenschap in Artikelen, which had been the journal of Anéla, the Dutch Association of Applied Linguistics, for forty years. Like its predecessor, DuJAL wants to offer a platform to young researchers in applied linguistics, i.e. PhD candidates and MA students. In order to maintain a high standard all submissions are subjected to a ‘double blind’ review by at least one external reviewer and two of the editors. Contributions may be written in Dutch, English, German or French.
