Summary/Abstract: The age of secondary orality, in which the oral and literate ways of thinking collide with eachother, influences the communicative styles of today’s youth. One of the visible phenomenarelated to the language of teenagers is their progressing inability to acquire skills required touse written texts, together with the resulting cognitive and social consequences. In this article,the author discusses the impact of cultural factors on the development of youth literacy. Theanalyses, based on observations of the linguistic behaviour of lower secondary school students,show that young people are firmly anchored in the current communicative communities immersedin the digital world.
