    The Teenage Dialect
    (2008-07-07T16:50:34Z) Telley, Sarah Ann; Lovejoy, Kim Brian, 1952-
    This study investigated teenage language and its functions. More specifically, after conducting a data analysis which revealed the most common features of “teen speak,” the features were dissected for their usage patterns and significance within the realm of adolescent life and development. The research was based on linguist Marcel Danesi’s model of teenage language, which provided a comparative basis for analysis and categorization.
