About this book

This in-depth study of the use of pragmatic markers by Spanish and English teenagers offers insight into the currently under-investigated area of teenage talk through the analysis of the Corpus Oral de Lenguaje Adolescente de Madrid and The Bergen Corpus of London Teenage Talk.

Reviews

"Stenström's Teenage Talk provides a useful and well-exemplified insight into the under-researched and somewhat neglected area of teenage talk. It provides a concise introduction to some general characteristics of teenage talk, which also makes the topic accessible for novices in the field." - Linguist List
