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
