- 1Les ParrotArgued: clothing, forbidden behaviour, rebellion, idols and cliquish exclusion are all contributory factors in teenagers search for identity.
- 2Joanna Thornborrow (2004)“one of the most fundamental ways we have of establishing our identity, and of shaping other peoples views of who we are, is through language.”
- 3Martha's VineyardWilliam Labov (1961): On Martha's Vineyard island found that locals used pronunciation to establish identity and distance from tourists.
- 43 Types of AgePenelope Eckert (1998): Said there are three types of age; Chronological age (years since birth), biological age (physical maturity) and, social age (life events).
- 5Emerging AdulthoodDouglas Bigham (2012): “important life events are more likely to occur post 18”, an age termed “emerging adulthood”, meaning chronological age could still be an important factor in children.
- 6Anna Brita Stenström (Book: Teenage Talk)said features in teen talk are irregular turn taking, overlaps, word shortenings, teasing, verbal duelling, slang, taboo, language mixing
- 7Penelope Eckert (2003) on SlangSlang is used to establish a youth culture, to separate from older generations.
- 8Christopher V Odato (2013) “Like”3 Stages of "Like": As it takes children longer to learn that "like" can be used in different positions before they use it themselves (as proven with the stages), it suggests here children copy those older than them. (contrasts Instagram research)
- 9Martinez (2011) Use of NegativesTeenagers use more negatives than adults, they are more direct than adults as they are not as worried how what they say affects someone’s face.
- 10Unni Berland (1997) Use of tags "innit" and "yeah"Found social class is an important feature in teen speech, “innit used more by working class, “yeah” used more by the middle class.
- 11Gary Ives “CBA” “WTF”Did a case study with 30 15-year-olds in West Yorkshire, they said they used the written forms CBA and WTF in speech. Both examples included taboo: is this to hide taboo from those around them to not get into trouble?
- 12Gary Ives InstagramResearched a small group of 8–11-year-olds and their use of language on Instagram, it became very evident very quickly that typical language features associated with technology texts were used extensively
- 13Why is technology influenced language declining with teenagers?Gary Ives' case study from Instagram posts suggests that perhaps older children no longer see it as ‘cool’ to use informal variants of language in online communication; they may feel they have grown out of it.
- 14What are the main influences of teen speech and theories that support them?1. Our peers and the need to feel part of a group and part of ‘youth culture’ (slang - Penelope Eckert)
2. Technology (text speak, emojis, Instagram - Gary Ives)
3. Adults – either copying adult speech or diverging from adult speech. (“like” - Odato, Martinez (2011) Use of Negatives)
