Abstract

This paper discusses the findings of three separate studies conducted at secondary schools in Canada, Australia and Italy. The main purposes of these studies were to identify the existence and use of adolescent-specific language and phrases with their distinct meaning, and discover whether commonalities exist in the development of these social dialects across the three different research populations.
