Annotation

Given the role of popular cultural texts in forming sociolinguistic reality, this study examines how (Greek) children receive those texts (here: cartoons, tv-series) and what sociolinguistic diversity conceptualisations they deduce from them. The role of popular culture in molding children's language attitudes is debated.
