Annotation

This article proposes apparent time and real-time proof for vernacular reorganization. It discerns the arrowhead formation—a pendant of the adolescent peak—for quotative be like in a trend inquiry of adolescents and young adults in Toronto, Canada. The findings exclude the alternative explanations for formerly discerned adolescent peaks.
