“…Denis's quote "abeide" (work, 004) is taken up by Wuddi, who produces deep growling sounds with choked voice. These are considered to be stereotypical category bound actions of the proles, indexing an uncivilized masculine habitus (Schwitalla 1994;Deppermann 2007). The following category enactment proceeds by pseudo-quotes of the proles, imitating and paraphrasing the term arbeiten (work), which gave rise to the mock fiction, in alliterated, formulaic talk ("schaffen und schuften", toil and labour), which indexes the stubborn, ritualized and dull self-positioning of the lower working dass as hard-working men.…”

Mock fiction is a genre of humorous, fictional narratives. It is pervasive in ado-lescents' peer-group interaction. Building on a corpus of informal peer-group interaction among 14 to 17 year-old German adolescents, it is shown how mock fiction is used to sanction identity-claims of peer-group co-members that are taken to be inadequate by the teller of a mock fiction. Mock fiction exposes and ridicules those claims by fictional exaggeration. Mock fiction is an indirect, yet sometimes even highly abusive means for criticizing and negotiating identities and statuses of peer-group members. The analysis shows how mock fiction is collaboratively produced, how it is used to convey criticism and to negotiate social norms indirectly, and how, in addition, it allows for performative self-po-sitioning of the tellers as skilled, entertaining tellers and socio-psychological diagnosticians.

“…This inversion derives from the fact that acting assig ('chawy') sometimes is cherished as subversive opposition against bourgeois norms of decency (cf. Deppermann, 2002;Schwitalla, 1994). Denis' ironical confession, his laughing voice and the ostensibly fictitious account ("aber wir ham unbedingt was zu saufen gebraucht", 'we absolutely needed some booze' , segment 46), which contra-factually attributes a need that portrays himself and his peers as members of the category alcohol addict' , all suggest that assig here indexes self-categorization as a person who violates bourgeois norms in a hedonis tic manner, thereby contributing to a memorable group event.…”

Bricolage: zwischen dialektaler und globaler Variation – Wie sich Jugendliche über Stilbasteleien sozial positionieren

The article presents a sociolinguistic analysis of dialectal conversations in the German part of Switzerland. It focusses on an adolescent peer group, whose members position themselves socially using a wide range of stylistic variation. The highschool students’ community situat-ed in a rural area in the middle of the Swiss Alps co-construct their group identity deliberately combining various types of linguistic variants, styles and languages. Thus, they resort to ele-ments of a widely spread young urban street style as well as to traditional and to some extent outdated dialectal variants simultaneously. On the one hand, it is the width of the linguistic resources which is remarkable. On the other hand, it is impressive to observe the youths’ competence in combining different variants creating their new and own communicative style. The study sheds light on the subtle stylistic techniques at work and demonstrates how much knowledge about the peer group’s linguistic practices, preferences and resources is necessary to interpret and understand their conversations and social contextualisations. The methodolog-ical approach to the analysis of linguistic variation is a conceptual one: the main communica-tive practice in the young men’s talk are conceptualised by means of bricolage – a specific way of incorporating and adapting linguistic elements to create a new and individual speech style. The conceptual approach also allows for a comparison of the peer group’s linguistic practices with speech styles of other young peer groups all over Europe: even if the specific resources used by the youth might differ to some extent, the way in which young urban and young rural pupils deal with linguistic variation is surprisingly similar.
