Mazzarella. This very recent compilation (2005) contains 11 scholarly articles on the subject of adolescent girls and their use of the web, from perspectives of age, gender, ethnicity, and sociology/media theory.&nbsp; With regard to the subject of teenage girls and fandom, I am interested in Scodari's&nbsp;work on the negotiation of age and gender in TV fan newsgroups, since I am also discussing women's speech in such groups.&nbsp; Mazzarella continues this topic with her discussion of the &quot;cultural economy&quot; of teenage girls fandom on the internet.&nbsp; Finally, Thiel takes on the description of the construction of identity and gender identification for girls over instant messaging, which she describes as both a cultural and an experimentation space.&nbsp; While this text does not discuss specific linguistic topics, it does serve as an interesting sociological reference for young women's behavior on the internet, which could influence or inform&nbsp;linguisitic decisions online.
