Abstract

This article draws attention to the social changes that have occurred recently in the United States. In particular it is suggested that today's high school and college students have developed a youth culture in strong opposition to the views, values and beliefs of their parents and grandparents. This youth culture has a linguistic significance. As the world contracts into "a Global Village" this language shift will become familiar to and popular with young overseas students of English. We should prepare ourselves for new forms of English in textbooks.
