Paul Kerswill gave an invited lecture on his research on Multicultural London English at the 8th Youth Languages Conference (Jugendsprachen 2016), held at our ERASMUS partner institution, the University of Graz, Austria, on 26-28 May. The conference covered topics ranging from the use of emojis by Japanese youngsters, through a 'backwards' youth language in Indonesia, to the role of English in German youth varieties.
