language codes to express meanings of messages Every word of this brief essay fits students at Valdosta High School. In classes they assumed demeanors of propriety and learned the different levels of language: literary, formal, informal standard, colloquial, regionalisms, dialect, jargon, slang, vulgarisms, and barbarisms. They thought teachers should use informal standard language. And they used this level for speaking and writing for class activities. But once the bell rang and they started flowing out to change classes, their conversation became private. Any teacher catching a snatch of such an exchange might have been mystified by You know, what’s her face, What it be? or Oh, she’s preppie. OPPOSITE PAGE, TOP.

Students keep teenage privacy by using Teenagers always think their group is unique. But teachers, especially those who have known and worked with young people for decades, know that the more teenagers change the more they remain the same — in attitudes, in actions, and in language. While private language codes, consisting of slang words and phrases, change every few years, the use of such language never varies. Young people hide their messages from adults by constantly changing. Sometimes they coin words. But most of their slang — and a sprinkling of vulgarisms — comes from movies, television and songs. 6
