The Language of University Youth –
Between Reality and Expectations: A Socio-psychological Study

Dr. Huda Mohammed Qazza

Summary

This research is concerned with studying the language of university youth, explaining the reasons why young people use a new language of their own, showing the factors that contributed to the emergence of the language, recording the opinions of scholars and researchers about this phenomenon, identifying the most prominent reasons for the emergence of such a language and its risks, and showing the ways of using this language and ways of forming and using it, in order to find solutions that contribute to the treatment of this phenomenon.

The Language of Youth

Language is the basic cultural aspect indicative of the identity of the individual and the identity of the community, not to mention that it is the main tool of communication between members of society. Unfortunately, the language that is widespread within the Arab community, expresses the isolation of individuals from each other, and this is one of the major problems faced by the Arab individual.

Perhaps the most prominent example of this isolation is the so-called “language of youth”, which suddenly invaded the lives of Arab youth without knowing its source, or what caused its emergence, and what unfortunate it is its encroachment on our Arabic language, and its recognition by young people without clear rules.

What is this language? What are the reasons for its appearance? What is the reason to use it?

Users' Opinions on This Language

In fact, we cannot diagnose the phenomenon unless we give a special angle to the opinions of users of this language or those who hear it, including, for example:

"I learned this language from my colleagues, and I use it to live my university life, and I don't see the need to use it after my graduation or when I face the practical reality. For example, we use the word (Ya Ali) when we see a friend of ours talking to an unwanted person, and we want to "slide" him, so we call him (Ya Ali), meaning leave this person.”
