UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre. By Georgia and Skye. What they are Talking About. Teenagers’ language changes when they are talking in a formal situation, such as a presentation or speaking in front of an audience. If a teenager is casually talking or gossiping with a group of their friends, their language will be more informal because they will be comfortable talking to people they are familiar with. On the other hand, if a teenager was speaking in assembly or giving a speech in front of a group of people, their language is more likely to change and be more formal. They will use less fillers such as “like” and “err.” If a teenager is talking about a controversial topic or something they are unfamiliar with, they will use more hedges such as “I think” and “maybe.” This is because they would not want to offend the people they are talking to, especially if it is a person that they are intellectually inferior to, like a teacher. However, if a teenager is talking about a laid-back topic such as celebrity gossip, they are likely to be less cautious about their choice of words and will use more slang terms.. KINDS OF LETTERS-.
