The digital media archive Atekst (Retriever) was used to build a corpus composed of articles published between 2015 and 2021 in Norwegian print media. The analysis presented here indicates that "Kebabnorsk" (Kebab Norwegian) - a term commonly used to describe the speech styles of urban youths in Norway - is oftentimes mobilized in media debates to construct an axis of differentiation (i.e. us x them) regimented by ideological work where "us" is constructed as a category that encompasses "ethnic Norwegians" who uphold Western values and speak standard Norwegian, whilst "them" describes those who have ethnic minoritized backgrounds, uphold non-Western values, and speak "Kebabnorsk." Moreover, the notions of coloniality and abyssal line help us to account for the political and historical development of the hierarchization of categorizations such as class, race, and gender from colonial times to the present. Aligned with ongoing efforts into southernizing sociolinguistics, this study expands the scope of existing research by bringing together traditions of critical discourse studies with theories of decoloniality and epistemologies of the South.Chapter 11 Minoritized youth language in Norwegian media discourse SociolinguisticsMethodologySociolinguisticsMethodology.306.44Gomes Rafael Lomeu1732462NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910773148103321Chapter 11, minoritized youth language in Norwegian media discourse4146631UNINA
