Examples of yuppieyuppie 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. In the interviews, qiáoliáng 'bridge' was frequently used by these yuppies to describe their role and their various "bridging" practices in the international business sector. Linguistic practice is only a par t of the practices that distinguish the yuppies from other social groups. The non-local variants of the other three variables were all used significantly more often when the yuppies discussed their work-related experiences. The most striking difference between the state professionals and the yuppies lies in their use of the "cosmopolitan" full tone variant. In contrast, across all four variables, female yuppies overwhelmingly favored the non-local variants. The yuppies used all of the local variants significantly less than the state professionals did. Their monthly salaries, ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 yuan, are much lower than those of the yuppies. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
