This document serves as a user's manual for the Bergen Corpus of London Teenage Language (COLT), a collection of British English teenage talk recorded in London during 1993. The corpus was compiled to explore spontaneous teenage language and its impact on adult speech and language change. The project involved recruiting 31 teenagers from five different school boroughs in London to record their conversations using walkman recorders.
