| Abstract | Ali G is a British comedian who has attained wide popularity in the last two to three years. The performer, Sacha Baron Cohen, is white, a graduate, Jewish (this fact is almost always mentioned) and from an unremarkable town close to London. In his persona as Ali G, he is a gangland leader, of ambiguous ethnicity, who enjoys and indeed promotes drugs, violent crime, and sex. Ali G' 's act consists largely of interviewing real-life celebrities and politicians and trapping them into revealing their pettiness, ignorance, racism and insularity through apparently naive questioning. In the paper the author first discusses the identity of the Ali G persona and the debates which it has set in motion. Next he examines the social and historical origins of the language used by the Ali G character and the similar variety used by contributors to the Ali G websites. Finally he looks at data taken from these Ali G websites with a view to developing a theoretical perspective on the creation and use of a 'language' by this on-line community. (Verlag, adapt.). |
