Die Jugendsprache in Deutschland

Abstract

Internet as a source of the language of yougersters in Germany

There are young people in every country in the world. These play a major social role in every respect. Young people are usually understood to mean people between the ages of 12 and 30. Nevertheless, this age range can vary from one society to another. What actually characterizes youth is their behaviour, their looks, their feelings, but especially their verbal behaviour. The present paper aims at studying the German culture in general and the culture of young German people in particular. There are always new words because they change as fashion changes; music; technology, mass media, dismantled borders, etc.
