Abstract:
Seventeen per cent of Australians currently report regularly using a language other than English (Lo Bianco 2009, p. 14). In this multilingual and multicultural context, a study of young people's nicknaming practices is particularly appropriate. Although it widely known that language practices can significantly affect adolescent self image, research studies on young people's naming practices are surprisingly scarce. The only study to date on nicknames in Australia was undertaken by Chevalier (2006) and focuses on the morphological and semantic features of nicknames. Although Chevalier suggests that Australians of non English-speaking backgrounds may differ in their naming practices from other Australians, she makes no reference to adolescent language practices and their role in society. Our research examines naming practices in conjunction with other aspects of language use. Our exploration of initial responses to questionnaire data administered to secondary students of English and non-English speaking backgrounds in Victoria and Queensland schools, will consider: (i) common nicknaming practices; (ii) the relationship between language background and attitudes towards nicknaming amongst adolescents. We end with suggestions for raising awareness of naming practices to promote cultural and linguistic sensitivity amongst Australian high school students. References Chevalier, S. 2006.
