Abstract:
How do today's teenagers talk? What are the distinguishing features of their
style of language, and what do they tell us about the English language more
generally? Drawing on a huge corpus of examples collected over a fifteen-year
period, Sali A. Tagliamonte undertakes a detailed study of adolescents'
language and argues that it acts as a 'bellwether' for the future of the
English language. Teenagers are often accused of 'lowering the standards' of
the English language by the way they talk and text. From spoken words -
'like', 'so', 'just', and 'stuff' - to abbreviated expressions used online,
this fascinating book puts young people's language under the microscope,
examining and demystifying the origins of new words, and tracking how they
vary according to gender, geographical location, and social circumstances.
Highly topical and full of new insights, the book is essential reading for
anyone interested in how teenagers talk.
1. What's all the fuss about teen language?
2. Teens talking
3. Methods: how to tap teen language?
4. Quotatives: I'm like, 'Oh my God!'
5. Intensifiers: upping the ante: super cool!
6. How do you start a sentence?
7. Sentence enders: finish with a flourish
8. Generics: stuffology
9. Just: just what?
10. Adjectives: the good, the bad and lovely
11. Other funky teenage features: you know what? I dunno. Whatever!
12. Internet language: everyone's online
13. Are they always going to talk like that?
Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
