Abstract
Abstract
A set of phraseological units that convey disagreement in Spanish, English and Norwegian teenage language are
observed from three perspectives in this paper: the phraseological, the pragmatic-discursive and the contrastive perspective. The
underlying assumption of the analysis is that the expression of disagreement in these terms among young people takes on certain
pragmatic nuances. The Madrid Oral Corpus of Teenage Talk (COLAm), the COLT-corpus (Corpus of London Teenage Talk) and the
UNO-corpus of Young Norwegian speakers (Ungdomsspråk i Norden, Oslo) enable a comparison of the use of these phraseological units
expressing disagreement among teenagers across these three languages.
