The term jetset can no longer be confined to yuppies, and international business executives.
Similar to gender variation, the state group demonstrated slight topic variation, whereas this was again significant in the yuppie group.
I have repeatedly emphasized that the yuppies see and present themselves as cosmopolitan business professionals.
They eschew the use of the interdental realization of (ts) because there is little homology between the image of an alley saunterer and a yuppie.
The state professionals thus appear to be less affected by this influence than the yuppies are.
However, these are only par t of the repository of resources from which they draw to forge their yuppie identity.
These multiple aspects intersect with each other and consequently affect the ways in which the yuppies select and appropriate symbolic resources.
The linguistic material that the yuppies pick up represents well-known cultural personae.
Its use not only distinguishes the yuppies from their state counterpar ts, but also helps create and perpetuate the sanctions of the new linguistic market.
