Abstract
Noun compositions portray a model of word formation where at least two independent words are combined to a new one. Modern German is rich in noun compositions and because of that, this phenomenon is very frequent in use. This available contribution is aiming to analyze this model of word formation in the German teen magazine Bravo. Considering the classification of noun compositions, it is to say that it was followed by the theory of Fleischer and Barz (1995). As a research object, teenage slang was chosen for its classification as language variety and its playful language structure. On top of that, we analyzed 10 news reports from "Deutsche Welle" to recognize if there are any differences between teenage slang and media language.
