Espaces périurbains autour de Grenoble Mise en discours, catégorisation, circulation de formes langagières

Periurban spaces are objects of interest for sociolinguistics as they raise questions about sociolinguistic categories. Relying on questionnaires, individual and group interviews of young residents in towns surrounding Grenoble, we focus on their discourses about spaces and elements of their practices. Results show a gap between on the one hand the proximity and continuity of language use among city, countryside and periurban inhabitants and on the other hand the claim of strong symbolic differences.
