"Teen Speak in Estonia" (TeKE in short) started in late 2019 to collect authentic speech and chat data from Estonian teenagers. TeKE was initiated by one of my supervisors, Dr. Virve-Anneli Vihman, and I was fortunate enough to join the team a year after it started.
I've been mainly responsible for analyzing the usage of English among Estonian teens (research articles coming soon). Current findings indicate English serves multiple functions: semantic specifications, emotional expression, addressing a speaker, discourse particles, and quotatives.
