Abstract:

The modern age has further expanded on the multifaceted character of English,
which is used not only in many places in the world, but also by a variety of
users in numerous contexts. Technical innovations have led to the rise of new
registers and offered scholars new tools to study language variation. Set in
the context of the electronic medium of social networking, and additionally
enriched with findings from the field of language attitude studies, this study
explores features of English used in the Inner, Outer, and Expanding Circles,
here represented by the UK, India, and Poland. The analysis of the English
used by Facebook members demonstrates cultural differences as well as gender
and age similarities in the area of e.g. politeness, emotionality,
informality, or code-switching.
