Within fractions of a second, our voices tell listeners a lotabout ourselves, about our age, gender, level of education,and for some, even our sexuality. For teenagers in neatschool uniforms, language is one of the few resourcesavailable to actively present aspects of our identity anddistance ourselves from other identities and groups. Whileresearch into language and adolescents demonstrates theircentrality in changing and progressing language, much lessresearch considers the nuanced and complex relationshipsthese young people have with categories of identity thatare imposed on them. With the increased visibility ofpositive LGBT+ role models, who don't conform to gendernorms, alongside constant anti-LGBT+ backlash in themedia, the navigation of adolescent identity throughlanguage offers an invaluable insight into the socialmechanics of language change, identity and discrimination.This project will investigate the speech and language ofyoung in secondary school LGBT+ 'Pride clubs' acrossLondon, as an new site for high school ethnographicresearch in emerging identities across different contextsthat are more (or less) inclusive or tolerant. Thecombination of qualitative and quantitative methods acrossthe multiple sites will create a body of data for analysingaspects of language such as sound, but also become aresources for use in wider research investigating aspects ofgender, sexuality and adolescence.

在几分之一秒的时间里，我们的声音告诉听众很多关于我们自己的信息，关于我们的年龄，性别，教育水平，对一些人来说，甚至是我们的性取向。对于穿着整洁校服的青少年来说，语言是为数不多的几种资源之一，可以用来积极地展示我们的身份，并使我们与其他身份和群体保持距离。虽然对语言和青少年的研究表明他们在改变和发展语言中的中心地位，但很少有研究考虑这些年轻人与强加给他们的身份类别之间的微妙而复杂的关系。随着积极的LGBT+榜样越来越多的曝光，他们不符合性别规范，以及媒体中不断的反LGBT+反弹，通过语言导航青少年身份提供了对语言变化，身份和歧视的社会机制的宝贵见解。这个项目将调查伦敦中学LGBT+“骄傲俱乐部”年轻人的语言和语言，作为一个新的网站，高中人种学研究在新兴的身份跨越不同的contextsthat是更多（或更少）包容或宽容。跨多个站点的定性和定量方法的结合将创建一个用于分析语言（如声音）方面的数据库，而且还将成为用于调查性别、性和青少年方面的更广泛研究的资源。
