style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Cambria">Since the beginning
of the
millennium unprecedented substantial social changes have been
taking place
across the world driven by technology, new media and social
media networking.
The global diffusion of ideas and values linked to globalisation
has become
synonymous with the weakening of historical and traditional
linguistic ties and
their replacement by loose connections to consumerism and
capitalism. Old
traditions perish and new ones evolve. In this world, everything
is becoming increasingly
‘mediatised’, with the Web allowing all of us to be publishers
and social media
enabling everyone to be agents of public communication; from
phone to Facebook
and from SMS text to Twitter. What was once the language of
private sphere is
now more and more very likely to take place in a more public one
e.g. the
Facebook/Bebo arena, in an exchange of written messages as we
perform our
relationships with each other in front of a perceived audience.
The private,
intimate, oral domains that have traditionally been the base of
endangered
languages in the face of hostility in the public sphere are
being opened up to
more public modes of communication with literacy as an important
currency. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
