%0 Journal Article %A Garley, Matt %T Choutouts: Language contact and US-Latin hip hop on YouTube %D 2019 %@ 1889-5425 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10017/41211 %X This paper presents a corpus-sociolinguistic analysis of lyrics and com-ments from videos for four US-Latinx hip hop songs on YouTube. A ‘post-varieties’ (Seargeant and Tagg 2011) analysis of the diversity and hybridity of linguistic production in the YouTube comments finds the notions of codemeshing and plurilingualism (Canagarajah 2009) useful in characterizing the language practices of the Chicanx community of the Southwestern US, while a focus on the linguistic practices of commenters on Northeastern ‘core’ artists’ tracks validate the use of named language varieties in examining language attitudes and ideologies as they emerge in commenters’ discussions. Finally, this article advances the sociolinguistics of orthography (Sebba 2007) by examining the social meanings of a vast array of creative and novel orthographic forms, which often blur the supposed lines between language varieties. %K Latinx %K Hip hop %K Orthography %K Codemeshing %K Language contact %K Language attitudes %K Language ideologies %K Computer-mediated discourse %K Latinx %K Hip hop %K Ortografía %K Codemeshing %K Contacto lingüístico %K Actitudes lingüísticas %K Ideologías lingüísticas %K Discursos informáticos %K Español estadounidense %K Lingüística %K Linguistics %K Sociología %K Sociology %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
