Abstract

This article discusses linguistic strategies employed by the authors of the Facebook page Koe ima po grad ('What's up in the town'), an urban chronicle of Leskovac, and texts of the hip-hop band Southentik Crew from the town of Vlasotince. It offers a view on creativity as the strategic mixture of the local dialect with various, easily recognizable discourses and explores the ways in which it engages with ideologies of authenticity and the centralist ideology of the national standard language. It focuses on the ways in which this creative use of language by speakers from the periphery of the Serbian linguistic-cultural space repositions the already set ideological frames of urban-rural and local-national-global, and thus destabilizes the ideologically fixed relationship between the linguistic centre and the periphery.
