The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the language of adolescents, as it is already known that they are seen as language innovators. We focus on English and Romanian and see to what extent there is language variation in their speech, taking into consideration a social variable: gender. In the literature girls are very careful with the language they use, meaning that they use the prestige forms whereas boys are at the other pole and they tend to use the non-standard forms. Swearing and taboo language is also included in the analysis.
