Youth Discourse of The New Millennium: Between Jargon and Multifarious Abbreviations

Abstract

The discourse or speech of young people (now also including exchanges with the chatting system or on-line communications) deserves to be considered and studied, not only as a type of linguistic communication in relatively closed communities, but also as a manifestation of the formation and realization of the process of growth and transition of the new generation of speakers from a certain stage (mainly of teenage age) to maturity and the formation of their own personality, closing that communication cycle in time.
