Living on the Edge: Globalization and Language PeripheriesAmong the Youth of Kerala
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2019, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
English is a global language. Globalization has created enormous possibilities for English to get connected with other languages and cultures. Globalization has also distorted vision about key concepts like the Centre and Periphery. The youth of Kerala are experiencing the pressure for adaptation of culture and languages while responding to global challenges. With the availability of technology and foreign languages like English, they have developed systems of communication among themselves which fall beyond the set parameters of language practices. This article speaks about globalization and its traits among the youth of Kerala. It speaks about living in language periphery. The language spoken by the youth of Kerala demonstrate that there are default combinations between languages and linguistic operations. There is a higher sense of adaptability and amalgamation which the youth of Kerala practice in their living within the society. These are lives on language peripheries.
